[Once / Twice] upon a time, a woman dreamed of getting married in a fairy tale wedding. For one British woman, her dream came [truth / true] . Amanda Gibbs, 44, married her fiancé [of / for] eight years on Saturday in a ceremony that was nothing [however / but] fairy tale.

They also [donned / dinned] costumes based on the [retire / attire] worn by the characters. The guest list [included / inclusive] friends and family dressed as Buzz Lightyear, the Gingerbread Man, Snow White and Minnie Mouse. The couple wanted a day to remember that was a little [in / out] of the ordinary. They stuck to their plan for a fairy tale wedding and tied the [knot / rope] in truly unforgettable fashion.

The wedding also had a [seriously / serious] side to it. They decided to use it to [raise / rise] money for charity.
