The Kent couple's son walked them down the isle 21 years following their first marriage - after dad Stephen became Kristiana
A COUPLE have renewed their wedding vows both as women, 21 years after they got married as man and wife.
Denise and Kristiana — formerly Stephen — Taylor both wore bridal gowns this time.
The pair, of Sittingbourne, Kent, got hitched in 1996 and renewed their vows for the first time five years ago.
Days later, hospital radiographer Kristiana revealed she wanted to live as a woman.
Midwife Denise, 44, was initially shocked but the couple stayed together as her partner transitioned.
Son Stephen, 14, walked them down the aisle on Thursday at a hotel in Ospringe, Kent.
Happy Kristiana, 49, said: “Something which could have torn us apart, actually brought us together.”
