A bride gave wedding guests a surprise by arriving at the church - on a tractor.<br /><br />Kathryn McKay, 33, turned up to the ceremony in the bucket of a Massey Ferguson 135 driven by farmer dad Henry McKay, 66.<br /><br />She chose the unusual wedding vehicle as a tribute to her rural family's background.<br /><br />Civil servant Kathryn said she "laughed the whole way" before marrying construction worker Kevin Lagan, 34.<br /><br />The pair tied the knot at church in their hometown of Carnlough, County Antrim, in Northern Ireland.<br /><br />Kathryn said: "Locals were waving and beeping horns - then a bin lorry pulled out behind us just before the chapel. This made me laugh even more.<br /><br />“We arrived safely without any hiccups or rain and had a beautiful service with our friends and family."<br /><br />Kathryn grew up on a farm and wanted to include her heritage in the ceremony.<br /><br />Her dad suggested repainting the £5,000 Massey Ferguson - which she thought was a great idea.<br /><br />Kathryn and Kevin had a Range Rover on standby in case the tractor broke down.<br /><br />And they hired an ice cream van to entertain guests in case she was late.<br /><br />She said: "The service was at noon. It rained again at 11:15am so we had to hold off for a bit.<br /><br />“We had a Range Rover on hand that was going to take me to the chapel but thankfully the rain cleared.<br /><br />“We honestly could not have asked for a better wedding and our hearts are so full.”<br /><br />Husband Kevin said: “It was the perfect entry because anyone who knows Kathryn knows she's farming mad.”<br /><br />Kathryn still keeps her hand in at the farm.<br /><br />She added: "I take the wee tractor to local vintage runs and just love all things farming.<br /><br />“When we were kids, me and my four brothers would be out in the field till around 5am lambing.<br /><br />“I still take a few weeks annual leave every April to help my dad with the lambing.”
