Wedding 'gift' by zoo couple's boss
STAFF at Flamingo Land zoo will be celebrating next week when two of them tie the knot – exactly two years after they first met.
The zoo keeper and the former circus acrobat met while they were both working at the theme park, near Malton, and the bride will be driven to Tuesday’s ceremony in her boss’s Bentley.
Christina Whittle, 28, is a primate keeper and her fiance, 31-year-old Attila Fischer, comes from Budapest in Hungary and previously travelled the world as a circus acrobat before working at the zoo as a security guard and doorman at the park.
Gordon Gibb, the 32-year-old Flamingo Land boss, agreed to loan his Bentley to the bride and drive her with her father to the wedding ceremony at the Old Lodge Hotel in Malton.
Mr Fischer said: “I have driven the Bentley for Gordon on quite a few occasions. Christina said to me that it would be lovely to borrow it for the wedding
“I think she was only joking, but I decided to ask Gordon anyway – if you don’t ask, you don’t get – and he said yes. We’re absolutely delighted, and so excited.”
