A mother and her daughter have made their wedding day extra special –by having a joint ceremony

Kim Milhano, 28, and Susan Scott Williams, 51, got married together after their partners suggested the best friends share their special day. The pair, who are often mistaken for sisters, combined their weddings at a hotel near their homes in Bristol.
