As weddings go, it was quite a yabba dabba do. . . Not only did the happy couple dress up as Fred Flintstone and wife Wilma, but all the guests went as characters from the much-loved caveman cartoon too. Groom Ed Robinson, a 34-year-old fireman, wore Fred’s orange and black furs and a black wig, while bride Gayle Watson was in traditional white – albeit a one-shouldered Wilma-style number teamed with a mockrock necklace and a vivid orange wig.
There was even a Flintstones car created for the occasion and an inflatable giraffe filling in for family pet Dino. Mr Robinson and his 29-year-old bride said “Yabba dabba, I do” in front a registrar at a theatre in Ilfracombe, Devon, before the Flintstones theme played as they signed the register. The reception was near the seafront in their home village of Combe Martin.
Mrs Robinson said: “The Flintstones idea made sense because we both love fancy dress and where we live in Combe Martin the scenery looks very prehistoric.”
