NEWPORT couple Natalie Morgan and Peter Biaggi chose a memorable venue for their wedding next month - an historic chapel deep in the heart of the Palace of Westminster.

After the wedding ceremony in St Mary Undercroft, the couple and their guests will have drinks in the Speaker's apartments followed by a reception in the House of Commons members' dining room.

And the evening celebrations on May 28 are being held on the terrace overlooking the River Thames.

Their memorable day has been made possible because Natalie's stepfather is Labour's Newport West parliamentary candidate Paul Flynn - the MP until the general election was called.

It will be quite a traditional wedding - with one twist.

Natalie, 24, will be escorted down the aisle to meet her husband-to-be by two men, her dad, Geoff Morgan, and Mr Flynn.

Natalie and Peter's son, Max, is to be her page boy and will also accompany her down the aisle.

Originally the couple had considered getting married in the House of Commons but then decided to hold the service in a church near their home in Allt-yr-yn.

Natalie said: "We felt it was bad asking people to go to London but when we told people we could have done it at the House of Commons they said we should do it. After consulting everyone we decided it would be a nice idea."

St Mary Undercroft is one of the "hidden secrets" of the Houses of Parliament. It is situated under what is now St Stephen's Hall in one of the oldest parts of the palace.

"You have to go through a little door, down a really old staircase and when you get to the bottom it opens up to the most amazing chapel," explained Natalie, a veterinary nurse.

"It is quite small, with really low ceilings and is very beautiful."

While more photographs are taken after the ceremony some of the guests will be able to have a tour of the House of Commons.

"I'm really looking forward to it. It has been quite stressful organising it because of the distance and we have had to speak to so many different people."

But she and Peter will be able to relax afterwards when they visit romantic Paris for their honeymoon.
