All this was made possible thanks to the kindness of a woman named Jill Leftha and city council. Leftha even donated the wedding dress for the bride for her special day.
"I was touched and I am very happy for them. They deserve to feel and look beautiful," Leftha is quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.
The newlyweds have been living in a city council run 'safe space, which provides beds for close to 230 homeless people.
