A couple died in a car crash on their way home from their wedding reception.

Stuart Moorat, 27, and Georgina Le Prevost, 25, were killed when their vehicle veered off the road on the Channel Island of Guernsey.

They were travelling home from wedding dance, police said in a Facebook post.

News of their deaths was then broken to the guests who were still at the venue, many of whom were reportedly in tears.

Friends and relatives paid their respects to the couple and left flowers at the scene, according to The Mirror.

“They were so very happy together," Mr Moorat's mother posted on Facebook.

Helen Moorat added: “The only grain of comfort I have is knowing they were together”.

Law firm Mourant Ozannes, where Ms Le Prevost worked, released a statement saying staff were "deeply saddened" by her death.

“We are all deeply saddened by the tragic and unexpected loss of our wonderful friend and colleague, Georgie. Georgie was a kind, beautiful young woman who was always full of life, laughter and fun,” they said in a statement.

“She truly brought joy to all of those who were lucky enough to work with her during her six years with us, and was a very dear friend to many.

“We will miss her terribly. Our love and prayers are with her family at this very sad time.”

A police spokesman said: "We would again ask that anyone who saw the couple at a wedding reception on Friday evening, and in particular anyone who saw them leave, contact Sergeant Tom Marshall on 725111."
