Heartbreaking pictures show murdered mother Caroline Crouch getting ready for her wedding to the man who killed her.
The images show Caroline, who was then 18, smiling as she had her hair and make-up done by a stylist in July 2019.
Less than two years after the photos were taken, the mother-of-one was smothered by the man she had married, Babis Anagnostopoulos, 33, over the course of six minutes as their baby daughter Lydia lay nearby.
For weeks, Anagnostopoulos played the widower as police searched for the 'robbers' he claimed had tied him up and killed his wife, plus the family's pet dog, Roxy.
Then last Wednesday, hours after hugging Caroline's mother at a memorial service, the 33-year-old finally brought the cruel charade to an end with a police confession.
On Friday, Caroline's mother Susan Dela Cuesta is set to face off with the parents of Anagnostopoulos - Constantinos and Georgia - in court to wrangle over who will care for Lydia.

Ms Dela Cuesta is demanding that she and her husband David - Caroline's father - be given full custody and that Lydia stay with them on Alonnisos until a final decision is made.
Lydia is currently being looked after by Anagnostopoulos's parents at their Athens home and they are demanding that custody of her be shared.
His lawyer, Alexandros Papaioannidis told MailOnline that Lydia's two grandmothers, Susan and Georgia had spoken on the phone and that both wanted what was best for the child.
He said: 'Both families want different things, but they are on good terms and are communicating. It is the court that will have to find a solution about this.
