But this newlywed was keen to keep a different type of train out of the picture as she posed for photos on a railway crossing.
The unnamed woman and her bridegroom kissed while standing on a pedestrian path over the track.

He admitted it was 'irresponsible' and he was 'careless to take part in such a dangerous situation'.
Superintendent Alison Evans of BTP commented: 'The railway is not an appropriate or safe setting for a photographic backdrop, no matter how scenic the setting.
A campaign has been launched by Network Rail called You vs Train in partnership with British Transport Police to highlight the issue of young people trespassing
'Every time someone strays onto the rail network they are not only putting themselves at risk of serious, life-threatening injury, but also delaying essential journeys.'
Network Rail launched its You vs Train campaign in partnership with British Transport Police to highlight the issue of young people trespassing.

HM chief inspector of railways Ian Prosser said: 'We keep seeing people take unnecessary risks around the railway and this behaviour could result in fatal or life-changing consequences.
'These new statistics showing the increase is truly worrying.
'The hidden dangers on the railway are real: each year hundreds take on the railway and lose and their actions have far-reaching and devastating consequences for their friends and family.'
