A truck driver's wedding to a driving instructor just had to include a remote-controlled forklift bearing the couple's rings.

Maggie Shea married army truck driving instructor Adrian Tomsett in the back of a bright yellow, eight-wheeler CF DAF truck this month, Manawatu Standard reported.

"I just love trucks. I drive them, I work in this one all day and I wanted it to be a part of my wedding," Shea says.

The couple's wedding ceremony was anything but ordinary.

Shea wore a bright yellow, high-visibility garter with a reflective safety strip and there were grease marks on her beaded ivory satin gown. The groom wore black.

Shea and Tomsett's wedding vows included promises to respect each other's preferences for Ford and Holdens. A drink-bottle sized remote-controlled forklift was the ringbearer at the service.

"It came chugging round the corner with the rings on a little pallet. It was really cute," Shea says.
