Leeds wedding in the morning, Manchester Oasis gig in the evening

A newlywed couple have said they like to “live on the edge” as they prepare to attend an Oasis concert hours after getting married.

Kim and Gareth Gladman tied the knot at Leeds Civic Hall on Saturday morning before catching the midday train to Manchester in their wedding outfits.

Mrs Gladman previously told BBC Radio Manchester: “I had thought about getting changed but I really like what I’ve got on.

“I thought what’s the point so I’m just going to keep it on – if it gets mucky, it gets mucky, I’m not going to wear it again.”

The couple, who have been together for 12 years and have two children, have been Oasis fans since childhood.

They got the places at the Manchester band’s homecoming after Mr Gladman’s father secured them in last year’s scramble to book tickets.

Mrs Gladman said her partner was “absolutely gobsmacked” at the time, adding: “He said ‘Oh this is going to be the best day of my life’.

“I said, well imagine if you got married in the morning, it’d definitely be the best day of your life then.”

What started as an “off-the-cuff joke” quickly transpired into reality as Mr Gladman immediately booked their wedding ceremony slot online to time with the day of the Heaton Park gig.

Speaking at Manchester Victoria railway station after their nuptials and still covered in confetti, he said: “One of the first albums I ever bought was an Oasis album.

“It’s been part of my life forever so this couldn’t be any more perfect today – get married and see them live. Brilliant.”

Mrs Gladman’s sister has been hosting a barbecue for their 60 guests as the couple travelled to the gig.

The bride said their families and friends had been “supportive”, adding: “They love it, they know that we’re quirky – we like to live on the edge.

“We’re doing something that we really want to do.”

As part of her wedding outfit, Mrs Gladman, who works as a dressmaker, designed a denim jacket with lyrics from their favourite Oasis song “Live Forever”.

Mr Gladman added they were looking forward to seeing the band’s reunion following their 16-year split.

“I’ve been waiting for it for that long but I’m just happy that we’re getting the chance to do it. I’m just hoping to enjoy it basically.”
