Patsy Palmer Celebrates Caribbean Vow Renewal

Eastenders actress Patsy Palmer and taxi driver Richard Merkell have renewed their wedding vows in the Caribbean.

The couple married in 2000 in a hurry as their son Fenton was born prematurely.

"When I married Richard, everything was such a rush," Patsy told HELLO!

"I'd just given birth to Fenton prematurely at 32 weeks and he had to stay in hospital. We went to register Fenton's birth at Chelsea Register Office and out of all the gloom and worry we wanted to do something really lovely and get married.

"I was still big from my pregnancy so I didn't wear a proper wedding dress, just a baggy cotton frock, and we never even bothered with wedding photos."

Following the ceremony the actress added:"Today has been every bit a celebration of our lives and love for each other.

"We wanted a simple but spiritual ceremony with lots of fun and laughter and to take away some really lovely happy memories, as well as make the children feel secure. It was exactly that and more. I feel really blessed.

"I think every married couple should do it every ten years. It is so easy to get divorced now but much harder to stay married."
