The number 12 has continued its lucky streak for a happy couple who tied the knot at 12 minutes past 12 on the 12/12/12.
Jim and Fiona Hobby, from Marshfield, were married today at the Little Theatre in Bath, accompanied by 12 bridesmaids and 12 best men.
Jim, 53, a sales director, said: "Twelve is my lucky number - it always has been. I proposed in Las Vegas last year on the 9/10/11 so we could get married on the 12/12/12 at 12pm and Fiona was 12 minutes late so it all worked."
He added: "We chose the Little Theatre because it's such a lovely place in a beautiful city."
As well as their large wedding party Jim and Fiona, 49, were joined by 144 friends and family, which is 12 times 12.
The Little was transformed from a cinema to a wedding venue for the ceremony.
Jim said he did not know which of his 12 best men was going to give the traditional best man speech.
"I haven't asked one of them. They will probably take it in turns."
Fiona, whose maiden name was MacNeil, is originally from the Isle of Barra, part of the Outer Hebrides off the coast of Scotland.
To honour his new wife's heritage, Jim, and all of his best men, wore kilts with the MacNeil tartan.
As a further nod to her roots the bride walked into the cinema to O Flower of Scotland, the unofficial Scottish national anthem, and because of the wedding's proximity to Christmas the newly-married couple walked out to The Pogues' Fairytale of New York.
Jim said: "It's been absolutely fantastic, everything went without a hitch."
After the wedding ceremony, guests were taken by coaches to the Catherine Wheel pub in Marshfield.
The couple are due to honeymoon in the new year with a sailing holiday in the British Virgin Islands.
