Couple marry after call to wrong number
Elizabeth Bennett and Brian Woodward, and the BBC's Pride and Prejudice's Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy.

She shares a name with one of Jane Austen greatest romantic heroines, and now UK woman Elizabeth Bennett is the star of her very own epic love story.

Last weekend, Elizabeth, 25, tied the knot with Brian Woodward, 26, a man she met when he dialled a wrong number nine years ago.

It was a fairy tale ending for a romance that began, like the one between Lizzie Bennett and Mr Darcy, with intolerable rudeness.

"Brian was really rude when we first spoke," Elizabeth told the BBC. "He was worse for wear and didn't know what he was doing.

"But he called back the next day to apologise and a couple of weeks later he turned up at Thetford train station and hasn't been away since."

On Saturday, the pair married at St Peter's Church, Ickburgh, Norfolk. Elizabeth said the wedding was "perfect".

The couple, who live in Mundford, Norfolk, will spend Christmas at home with their families before going away for a honeymoon in the new year.
