BRIDE Louise Saul knew she had landed the perfect role in a hit musical when she heard a line from one of the songs - "I'm Getting Married in the Morning".

Louise, of Barley, is to star in Accrington Theatre Group's production of My Fair Lady, but not before she ties the knot with fiance Robert Southern today.

The 30-year-old, who plays Eliza Doolittle, has been busy rehearsing her wedding vows and her lines in preparation for her two big roles.

Louise, a marketing manager at Express Gifts, Church, said: "This is my first lead role and I am looking forward to it. I will definitely be more nervous about the show than my wedding."

She gets married to her 31-year-old fiance, a computer consultant at St Leonard's Church, Downham.

The couple will honeymoon in South Africa and Louise is under strict instructions to carry on learning her lines.

But she still has plenty of time before she takes to the stage. The musical will be performed at Oswaldtwistle Civic Theatre between November 17 and 22.
