A n.u.d.i.s.t couple who met while playing n.a..k.e.d table tennis have tied the knot - in the buff. Nigel Seymour, 59, and 30-year-old care assistant Rachel spend their lives clothes-free.
So when it came to exchanging vows, they were never going to blow the budget on wedding outfits.
The pair, from Poole, Dorset, married in front of 40 n.a.k.e.d guests at a naturist haunt in Romford, Essex.
They are both members of British Naturism and met over a game of table tennis on a Greek island in 2017.
Just six months later Nigel proposed at a weekend organised by the group in front of 400 n.a.k.e.d strangers.
Rachel said: “Our n.a.k.e.d wedding made perfect sense, as it meant I didn’t have to spend £1,000 on a wedding dress.
“Getting married in the buff with your friends and family is still just as magical an experience. It felt really freeing.
“We met in the buff, Nigel proposed in the buff and we had a ceremony n.a.k.e.d. It closed the chapter.”
Rachel’s dad, fellow naturist Harvey Allen, 74, was the official photographer at the wedding last June.
He snapped the happy couple and their guests sunbathing, playing tennis, swimming and eating a buffet lunch in the n.u.d.e.
Rachel, who has a one-year-old son, Michael, with her husband, added: “All guests had to bring with them was a towel and some sun cream.”
Nigel, a vehicle restorer, said some relatives decided a n.a.k.e.d wedding was not for them.
“The reaction we had from friends and family who did not attend the blessing was very much, ‘That’s not for us but you carry on and let us know how you get on,’” he said.
“But we loved every minute of it.”
After the wedding the couple went on honeymoon to the world’s largest naturist village in Cape d’Agde, in the South of France.
Nigel said the coronavirus lockdown has left the pair longing for the days when they can go skinny-dipping again.
“The main change for us has been missing out on events with our nudist friends and family,” he said.
“We can’t wait until we can go back out again. We’re desperate to go out for a n.a.k.e,d swim.
