Deri Rogers-Wood, 27, and husband Ben, 30, tied the knot at a big white wedding with 10 bridesmaids by their side
A happy couple have welcomed a bouncing baby boy - thanks to their chief bridesmaid being the surrogate mum.
Deri Rogers-Wood, 27, and husband Ben, 30, tied the knot at a big white wedding with 10 bridesmaids by their side.
But it was chief bridesmaid Sadie Cox, 40, who made the incredible wedding gift - to be birth mother to the couple's future baby.
And now, two years later, she has given birth to a boy named Lotan Blue Phallon Rogers-Wood, weighing 8lb 3oz.
Deri said: "It was a very long birth but Sadie was amazing. It lasted two days.
"Sadie flew through the pregnancy. She said it was the best pregnancy she's had.
"We are so happy and it is the best feeling in the world knowing that our baby is here.
"I kept everyone updated about the birth and we have had so many lovely comments from people."
Sadie already has four children but wanted to help longtime pals Deri and Ben have their first child together.
Little Lotan was conceived using Ben's sperm and a donor egg in a £7,000 procedure at a private clinic.
Pub manager Deri said: "Sadie was adopted herself and she says she knows what it's like to be brought into a loving family.
"I've known her for over ten years and she even introduced me and Ben back in 2013."
The process to prepare Sadie's body for the pregnancy took a year.
She had to boost her oestrogen levels with tablets and had nightly hormone injections before the embryo was implanted in January.

Woman becomes mother to her own grandchild after acting as a surrogate for her cancer survivor daughter But she fell pregnant straight away and finally gave birth to Lotan - who has a full head of dark hair - on October 3 at hospital in Newport.
Sadie, of Cwmbran, Gwent, said: "I knew I wanted to do this ever since Deri and Ben got together and I know they will be the best parents.
"I can't wait to be in this little boy's life as a friend of the family and I am so proud to have been a part of this. He is going to be very loved."
Ben and Deri chose 10 pals plus Sadie as bridesmaids to make their big day a truly white wedding – inviting each of them to wear their favourite dress.
Deri – who already has son Maccaulay, nine, from a previous relationship – said: "I figured every wedding needs a wedding dress – so why not 10?"
Both men were there for the birth as Sadie gave them the gift of a lifetime.
Giving thanks to Sadie, Ben added: "Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity because without you this may have never happened.
"I can't thank you enough now we're home. Love you to the moon and back."
This article seems hard to follow.
” to a boy named Lotan Blue Phallon Rogers-Wood”
Just one of the many reasons these people should be beaten with a tire iron.
Lotan Blue Phallon Rogers-Wood
An old school Marine DI would have a field day with this name
Agreed. Now these sodomites have a new toy to rape. disgusting.
OMG... the husband and the husband look like frickin’ twins.
because certain details have been left out.
I didn’t realize the ‘brides’ were both guys until the end.
THEN, I went back and re-read the whole thing. And barfed.
OK, I want to vomit. Somehow, in this whole wretched article, they obscured the fact that Deri and Ben are both male. Enough of the faggotry!!! Impale the two disgusting queers and give the baby to a man and a woman who are married to each other.
I thought the same thing.
This is a very sad story. The baby is not starting life with a mother or a normal father.
I remember decades ago an older lady with a musical voice that I much admired commented on our cultural scene by saying, “We’re on a sinking ship”. The West is sinking much faster now.
Imagine finding a person who looks just like you and marrying them.
Deri’s a guy??? It’s a pair of queers?? It’s about time for G-d to ‘pull the plug’.
NOW post #2 makes all the sense in the world...from the article; I had no idea they were talking about a pair of queers.
I’m begging G-d the Father to end this farce and send His Son, Jesus back to us... Daily. I know it’s in His time, but Lord, how much longer?
Just look at the self-satisfied smirk on the “mother’s” face, like she’s thinking, take that, intolerant bigots.
I need to vomit...
I beg to differ ... the two faggots are evil as well.
