Parklife boss Sacha Lord has tied the knot with his partner Demi Mclaughlin in a romantic wedding ceremony in Capri, not leaving out a touch of Manchester. Sacha, the night time economy adviser for Greater Manchester, and Demi, a category manager for the online retailer Very, were joined by 30 of their closest friends and family for a three day celebration in Capri, an island in Italy's Bay of Naples.
