  A bride recently avoided having to leave any of her friends out when she chose her bridesmaids because she had 24 of them.
  
  Amanda George, 38, from Sussex said that she wanted all her loved-ones to be included in her wedding day.
  
  Perhaps inconveniently for her, Amanda's groom Lee Mainwaring, also 38, happens to come from an extremely large family.
  
  Therefore mother-of-four Amanda included all 11 of Lee's sisters as well as her own three daughters in her entourage of bridesmaids.
  
  Nevertheless the blushing bride managed to complete the magnificent feat of dressing all 24 bridesmaids in co-ordinating red and white outfits.
  
  "I just wanted as many people as possible involved in the happiest day of my life," Amanda said.
  
  The bride married her childhood sweetheart Lee, a chef, in front of 300 guests at Plumpton racecourse.
  
  "I was even more over the moon," said the groom.
