Audio By Carbonatix

It should have been the happiest day of their lives.

But this bride and groom - pictured just hours before they were marched away from their reception by police - spent their first night of their married lives together behind bars, sleeping next to each other in adjoining cells.

Nick and Kirsty Bigland, nee Robinson, from Salford, were arrested at the Hilton Hotel in Manchester city centre on Saturday night following an alleged scuffle with security staff.

The couple had booked a room at the venue where they were due to be staying after they had celebrated their wedding party there.

But their evening was cut short, when Mr Bigland, 25, was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm.

Still wearing her white gown, his wife Mrs Bigland, 29,a mother-of-four, was detained on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence.

They were held overnight at a nearby police station and slept in neighbouring cells.

The newlyweds have since been released on bail and were keeping a low profile when approached at their home in Charlestown - with the groom declining to comment.

Police were called to the Deansgate hotel at around 11.30pm on Saturday.

The bride and groom are said to have got into a row with concierge staff as they attempted to check into their wedding suite and security guards were called.

A fight then broke out between the guards and the couple.

During the scuffle, the groom, dressed in his wedding suit, allegedly attacked one the security guards cutting his face in the process.

The bride is alleged to have shouted racist abuse at the guards.

Snaps following the ceremony earlier on the Saturday show them smiling and gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes.

Other pictures taken on Kirsty’s hen night -show her apparently dressed as a jailbird in black and white stripes.

A friend of the newlyweds, who asked not to be named, said the couple denied any wrongdoing.
