Big Issue seller Jack celebrates wedding day
Their friendship started when Jack Richardson asked Toni Osborne for money while begging. She apologised saying that she had none. Jack ended up giving Toni 50p so she could feed her electricity meter enabling her not to have to spend Christmas 2013 in the dark.
Friendship blossomed into romance and now Jack – one of Bristol’s best known Big Issue vendors thanks to his cheery sales technique on Park Street – has married Toni at a ceremony at St Paul’s Church in Clifton.
Here are some photos of the big day by Judith Parkyn:
