CRAZY WORLD: This Couple Dressed Up As Shrek & Princess Fiona For Their Wedding (PHOTOS)

Green with envy? A couple dressed as Shrek and Princess Fiona for their wedding in Dudley, West Midlands
 
While most brides dream of throwing a white wedding which will make other women green with envy,  this 44 years old bride painted herself and her husband-to-be green for their fairy-tale wedding based on the film Shrek.
 
Amanda, 44, and Nathan Gibbs, 39, wedded today after eight years together.
They had lost a number of friends to cancer, so the couple decided to wed dressed as Shrek and Fiona and use the day to raise money for charity.

Instead of wedding gifts, the couple asked their guests to donate money to Cancer Research.
Guests also came dressed up for the themed celebrations - dressing up as the Gingerbread Man, Mickey Mouse and Jack Sparrow from Pirates Of The Caribbean.
