Couple Have Race Named After their Wedding
Most couples enjoy their wedding day so much and want to remember their special day that they have a memory or guest book where people sign and add comments about what they enjoyed on the day. One couple from Acton in London celebrated their wedding by having a horse race named after their wedding day!
Yvonne Doyle and David Welch had their wedding ceremony at Epsom Downs Racecourse along with a sumptuous reception overlooking the finishing line of the course in The Queen’s Stand.
The race was called ‘Mr & Mrs Welch’s Wedding Celebration Handicap’ and the horse they bet on was called ‘We Have a Dream’. Disappointingly, the horse only came in second but the couple did not let their loss put a damper on the day and as the newlyweds were sponsors of the race, Yvonne was given the honour of picking out the Best Turned Out horse and not surprisingly, she chose We Have a Dream!
Yvonne and David also had the privilege of awarding the owners of the winning horse ‘Idle Power’ a trophy from within the Winners Circle.
