Spam, dead parrot and a giant foot: themed wedding for Monty Python superfans

John Wood and Gemma Harris got married in West Sussex on 50th anniversary of show's first broadcast

A British couple spent two years and thousands of pounds planning their Monty Python-themed wedding in the hope of inspiring other superfans to try to find their Python-mad soulmate.

John Wood, 59, who once won a competition looking for the biggest fan of the surreal comedy sketch show, and Gemma Harris, 35, tied the knot in a "totally bonkers" ceremony in West Sussex on 5 October, the 50th anniversary of the first Monty Python broadcast.
