A couple who went to see the American rapper Pitbull perform at a festival on their wedding day say their 15-hour celebrations were "a bit mad".Kym Sutcliffe and Tyler Scarisbrick, from St Helens, got married at St Margaret's and All Hallows Church in Warrington on Sunday.After a quick pit stop at a local pub, they saw Pitbull aka Mr Worldwide headline the Lytham Festival's final day before rounding everything off by finding a bar to watch England beat Mexico in the last 16 of the World Cup.Pitbull fans are known for emulating the star's bald appearance at his gigs.Kym told BBC Radio Lancashire: "I had my wedding dress on, and my bald cap, and my goatee, I must have looked a right picture!"The couple had only been engaged for about six weeks and brought forward their wedding plans in the hope that an ill family member could attend.Unfortunately, their relative's health took a turn for the worse and they were unable to make the wedding, which Kym said had made the occasion "bittersweet".Tyler said that while he did not think their guests "expected much" because of how quickly everything had to be organised, "it was a really nice day" with "a really nice service" in the church.From there, Kym said they "went to the pub, had a few drinks, made our way up to Lytham, then had a good night with Pitbull", including an unusual first dance.
