Couple Accepts Ice Bucket Challenge On Their Wedding Day

A young couple nominated to take part in the 'Ice Bucket Challenge' left their family and friends surprised when they completed the task – on their wedding day.

According to the Daily Mail, Amy Jarmain, 24, and her husband Charlie accepted the charity challenge shortly after they tied the knot at the weekend. The news was only revealed by the bride's brother in a speech at the couple's reception.

The pair, who even wore their wedding outfits for the challenge, were then doused in ice-cold water as they sat outside the Wheatsheaf Inn in Onneley, Staffordshire. They raised £180 for the Motor Neurone Disease Association, they said.

Mrs Jarmain, a mother of two, is quoted by the publication as saying: "We were nominated to do the challenge by my sister-in-law Joanne the day before we got married.

"We kept it a surprise from the guests so they only found out when my brother Stephen announced it during his speech. Some people told me I was mad to do it in my wedding dress but I was only going to wear it once so I didn't mind.

"Everyone said they couldn't believe I went through with it but I said I was going to do it so I did."

Her husband, Charlie, 21, added: "Amy didn't actually tell me about she was planning for us to do it on our wedding day so I only found out during the speeches. I was really surprised she was willing to do it in her dress but I was happy to go along with it.

"Unfortunately that meant I didn't have a change of smart clothes so I had to get changed into a pair of joggers afterwards. We had no idea we would be doing something like this on our wedding day. Everyone had a great time though and it was all for a good cause."
