The mother-of-four was flanked by her bridesmaids and family as she and White Chocolate Button - adorned with a specially made flower crown - made their grand entrance into Holy Cross Church.Victoria revealed the ride lasted just 30 seconds - but was "very memorable". She then wed husband Mike on their 10-year anniversary.Following the ceremony, while guests headed to the nearby reception, Victoria and Mike returned to their farm to milk the cows before joining the celebrations.Victoria said: "We were on such a tight schedule because we had to be back at the farm!"I had so much to do that I only got one hours sleep before the wedding."I was even up at 4:30am on my wedding day to start milking before the ceremony."White Chocolate Button has previously taken part in other celebrations at the farm - so she is no stranger to being dressed up.Victoria said: "White Chocolate Button has been shown before since she was a newborn calf, so she is used to a lot of people and being messed around."I've never ridden her before though."I tried to ride my other cow Basil, but she didn't like it so we didn't make her do it - it felt like she was telling us to go away."In the past we've even dressed them up as a reindeer."White Chocolate Button will do anything: she follows you around the fields, the yard, she comes into the house and eats bread too."She really does come and go as she pleases - so I hopped up to sit on her back a few weeks before the ceremony and gently kicked her on and she stopped and walked, and didn't mind it at all."Cows are a ton in weight - so we didn't force her, she's a big animal!"."She was always going to be a part of the day - whether it was a bridesmaid or a ring bearer!".Victoria, who even dressed up as an inflatable cow costume during her hen do, revealed she has been riding her cows ever since she was a young girl.She said: "I used to ride my childhood cow, Sadie, to the village shop to get sweets and pick up my grandad's newspapers."Honestly I have wanted to do this for years, so when we made it happen the inner child in me was jumping up and down."Victoria revealed that the attention her family has received since the ceremony has been overwhelming but supportive.She said: "It's a tough time for farmers out there, I just wanted to make people smile."Planning a wedding and trying to run a farm is extremely challenging - it took us 10 years!".Article continues below"But it has been worth it. My kids are even hoping Jeremy Clarkson sees this!".
