Lottery millionaires David Storey and Margaret Remington are sharing their good luck by taking some of their relatives on honeymoon with them.

The Saltaire couple, who hit the headlines last month after scooping just over £1.4 million, are due to marry next month before heading off to the Caribbean - not Blackpool, as originally planned.

Following their big day the newlyweds will jet off for a two-week honeymoon in Barbados and return flight on Concorde, accompanied by three close relatives including Margaret's sister, Patricia Remington, and brother-in-law Girvin Vincent, who is David's best man.

Margaret, 45, said: "They've been really good to us -- taking us on holiday when we had nothing and when I've been skint my sister's helped me out financially -- and so now we can do something for them.

"The honeymoon's the one extravagance for us -- it looks like paradise and I can't believe we're going there."

The couple, who have been engaged almost nine years, originally planned to honeymoon in Blackpool but plumped for the luxury Colony Club complex in Barbados after hitting the jackpot.

Apart from a few clothes for the holiday the couple have bought nothing for themselves but while they are away relatives will be housesitting at their modest £50,000 home.

And despite their new-found fortune the actual wedding day plans have remained virtually unchanged.

The wedding, to which 100 guests have been invited, will be followed by a buffet and the ceremony itself will be a real family affair with Margaret and David surrounded by their godchildren and other friends and relatives.

Margaret's chief bridesmaid is to be her niece Julia Wilson, 27, and her other attendants will be goddaughters Emma Flack, 15, Carrieanne Pearson, five, and year-old Reanne Pearson and friends Claire Swift, 13, and Amy Wood, nine.

The bride's nephew Lee Fortune, 26, will be an usher with Luke Wood, seven, and godsons Thomas Flack, 13, Adam Taylor, 12, Nino Fusco, 11, and Enzo Fusco, nine, chosen as page boys.

Margaret, a craft instructor for adults with learning disabilities, said: "It's taken us 11 years to get to this stage and we didn't want to change what we'd worked so hard for. The bank balance might have changed but we haven't and we were more than happy with what we'd already arranged.

"The same people are coming, it's in the same church and I've got the same wedding dress - the only things that have changed are we've now got flowers for the church, hired a professional video man and I've got some £32 bridal shoes instead of a £4.99 pair."

David, 48, who had been unemployed for seven years before the couple's numbers came up six weeks ago, said: "We just can't wait for the wedding day and Barbados will certainly be a bit different to Blackpool."
