A couple have got married in the middle of Snowstorm Jonas - one of the biggest blizzards the United States has ever seen.

Jessica Reid and John Pyle met exactly a year ago - describing this, despite the extreme weather, as the perfect day to get married.

They were married on a snow-covered bridge in Nashville, Tennessee, in a ceremony officiated by the bride's best friend.

The groom's brother was also in attendance as the photographer.

Storm Jonas is expected to affect more than 85 million people across 20 US states before winding down Saturday afternoon.

Seven states have been forced to declare a state of emergency with more than two feet of snow predicted for Washington alone.
