"He loves the outdoors though and he's fearless so he picked it up straight away.

"The proposal was a total surprise."

They and 32 guests headed to the Otztal Alps in Austria last month for the stag and hen do’s.

The entire party then travelled to the top of a 8,500ft mountain at Hohe Mut Alm for the vows.

Afterwards the newlyweds raced down with a dozen guests, and Laura’s snow-white dress escaped unscathed.

The equine physiotherapist, of Mere, Cheshire, said: “It was pretty special.

"It was great fun skiing down.

"I just forgot what I was wearing and just enjoyed the moment.

Farmer Robert, 34, taught to ski by Laura when they met six years ago, added: “It was pretty surreal.”
