Hoping to live long and prosper Star Trek fanatics Jossie and Sonnie Gustavsson today tied the knot in the UK’s first-ever ‘Klingon’ wedding.

The bride, a Trekkie-convert who as a child dreamed of a white wedding, donned brown face-paint and a rubber mask to exchange vows.

And there was no need to beam up their guests after they carried out the ceremony in front of thousands of other sci-fi fans at the UK's first Star Trek convention in more than a decade.

Organised by Superb Events Ltd it was faithful to the TV series meaning the sound of traditional Klingon drums replaced the more familiar wedding march as the pair took their place next to a three-metre statue of the Klingon god as the altar and giant flames.
