The couple both work for the Scottish Ambulance Service in Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland.

Said Wayne Marshall of the couple's experience, "It was a fantastic day and great to spend it with friends, family, co-workers, both past and present," as news outlet SWNS reported.
He said that "the whole day was amazing."

For one thing, the couple "managed to trick our guests into thinking we had lost the rings, only for one of them to find them under her chair," he said.
Wayne Marshall has been with the health care service for over eight years — five as a technician, three as a paramedic, the same source reported.

The wedded couple were able to make use of a non-operational ambulance in the background, SWNS also noted.

"Thankfully, an off-duty colleague was happy to oblige to bring a non-operational vehicle up for the occasion," said Marshall.
