Three sisters took part in a fake self-marriage ceremony so they could have some glamorous photos taken to earn them a spot on their grandma's esteemed photo wall.

A grandma's photo wall is more important than the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the grandkids will usually do anything to gain a spot.

Sisters Lucy, Rosie and Claudia Ivers spent just £112 on the ceremony to help show the world that you don't need a huge budget or even a man to have a fairy-tale wedding and get a spot on your grandma's wall.

Lucy 33, Rosie, 29 and Claudia, 26 say they don't plan to get married traditionally, due to their disinterest in the ritual.

Lucy said: "None of us are married and our grandmother has photos on her wall of all our cousins on their wedding days or with their partners.

"So, we decided to stage a wedding with the sole purpose of getting our photos on our Nana's wall. It was a surprise.

"We bought dresses off Gumtree for about thirty dollars each and decided since it's unlikely we'll ever actually get married for real, we may as well do it right.

"We invited friends and decorated my apartment building's rooftop area a little. We ordered a few boxes of Domino's pizza and drank lovely rosé all afternoon.

"The best part was that our friends just dressed up, came along and fully participated in the whole charade - no questions asked.

"They treated it with the same level of enthusiasm that you would any wedding. We never expected it to be such a wonderful day - I actually can't imagine that I could possibly have had any more fun if it were a real wedding.

"We had a little ceremony; my friend Astin acted as the celebrant. She married us each, 'Lucy, do you take yourself to be your lawful wedded wife...' etc.

"She actually said a very beautiful thing when beginning the ceremony. She said, 'we are gathered here today because these ladies make the most out of life and really live it, and that's something worth celebrating'.

"We found it funny because we get a lot of questions from the family about, 'when are you getting married?' or, 'why haven't you settled down?' because all our cousins are married or heading that way.

"Nana's photo wall had no photo of us, because all of the pics of her grandkids were of their weddings. So, we thought we'd fit the theme of the photo wall.

"Originally we only planned to take photos of us in our wedding dresses, however we thought we may as well do the full wedding because it may be our only chance to have one."

Thankfully, the sister's Grandmother was more than happy with the pictures and found the funny side.

Lucy said: "Nana doesn't mind if we get married or not- the sole purpose of this was to make a joke about what it takes to get up on her photo wall - she loved the photos and found it particularly funny, the lengths we went to."
