More than two foot of snow fell on the village of Llanferres, near Mold in Flintshire the day before Michael Roberts and Alison Jelley were due to tie the knot, cutting off access to the church.
However, in an effort to ensure the couple made it down the aisle, thirty villagers helped to shovel the snow ahead of the lunchtime wedding so the bride and the wedding party could get married.
A phone call was made to the local council and a snowplough was sent to clear the road for guests to arrive. More than five hours later, the roads and pathways around the building were declared safe for the wedding to go ahead.
The Reverend Adrian Copping, who is rector of St Berres Church, alongside villagers Paul and Siobhan Gothorp, organised the effort to clear the snow away from the church.
Speaking to BBC Wales, Mr Copping said: "It was a wonderful example of community spirit. At one point one of the shovellers pointed towards the sky and suggested that, with the amount of snow we had, someone seemed to have it in for us."
While Sarah Sadler, of Sarah Janes Photography, who took the wedding photos for the couple, added: "When I got to the church, it was just amazing, the whole community pulling together. They were absolutely freezing, bless them, clearing this snow. It was so nice to see, not just close friends and family but the whole community pulling together for people they didn’t even know. It was lovely to see that."
