Britain's only female commando has tied the knot.

Major Pip Tattersall, from Tarland, wed Sergeant Stuart Delamere-Wright in a private ceremony at Glen Tanar Chapel in Royal Deeside on Friday. They held their reception in Kincardine House at Kincardine O'Neil.

The 37-year-old met her husband, who is originally from Yorkshire, in November 2010 while competing at an Army Snowboarding Championship in Austria.

She told the Daily Record: "I’m so excited about being married.

"I think, like most brides, I just feel I’m the luckiest girl to find someone that I want to spend the rest of my life with and who wants to put up with me – I’m probably fairly intimidating."

Pip, who is involved in training medics for deployment to Afghanistan,is the only female to have passed the nine-week course to become an Army commando. Although the officer failed two attempts, she overcame the physical challenges earning her right to wear the green beret.

Her achievements don't end there, she has been nominated by friends and family to carry the Olympic torch between Aberdeen and Dundee on June 12th.

Major Pip will retire in 2013 after 16 years in the Army. She plans to move back home to north east Scotland and start a family.
