IT SOON became a real family affair when Wendy Craggs decided to get married in the Mexican sunshine.

Her older brother Mark was also planning to marry his own sweetheart, so they decided to keep it in the family by jetting out to Mexico for a double wedding.

So Wendy, 28, married her man, Michael Jobson, 28, while brother Mark, 31, tied the knot with Karen Stephenson, 35, at the Mexican seaside resort of Cancun on the Caribbean coast.

The Chester-le-Street foursome then spent a two-week joint honeymoon in Mexico before returning to the North-East following last month's wedding.

Wendy said: "Michael and I thought of it first and when we told them they thought they would come along as well. They copied us, but why not?

"A lot of people have said it is unusual for a brother and sister to get married together, but it made perfect sense to us."
