Position: Retired childminder, Castle Donington
What made you decide to invite all the children you have cared for to the renewal of your wedding vows?
I am changing jobs - I had worked with children for 25 years and it was a 25-year wedding vows renewal too. My husband said to me, 'Shall we renew our vows?' I agreed and I thought it would be a good time to celebrate with everyone that played a part in my life.
What were the reactions to this?
They were brilliant. Quite a lot of people really went for it. A lot of the children have special needs, so it was about letting everyone be involved. Out of about 150 children I cared for in the local area, 111 came to the ceremony.
