Bride recreates Oasis cover at festival-themed wedding

By Adam Dutton

An Oasis-mad bride recreated one of the band's most iconic record covers with her bridesmaids on her wedding day at the famous 'Some Might Say' train station.

Robyn Hixon, 38, grew up just down the road from Cromford Railway Station in Derbyshire but never realized she lived by a piece of Britpop history until she was a teen.

She had always been fascinated by the Grade-II-listed Victorian structure so she was delighted to discover its link to Oasis as she was a huge fan.

The station is featured on the cover of Some Might Say - one of the band's most famous singles which helped shoot them to superstardom in 1995.

So when she tied the knot earlier this year to husband Tommy, 33, she could think of no better place to stay with her bridal party than the holiday cottage at the station.

Robyn and her 12 bridesmaids even recreated the iconic single cover with their wedding photographer in fun shoot ahead of the festival-themed ceremony.

She can be seen pushing the iconic wheelbarrow along the platform - but opted to cart her friend Karrie Hammersley instead of the original dead fish.

Other hidden details include the ‘Education Please?’ sign, Noel's watering can to signify "in the rain" while a friend's dog was even roped in for the shoot.

Robyn and Tommy said 'I do' at Aston Hill Barns just a few miles down the road from the station on July 20 - just weeks before the Oasis reunion was announced.

Oasis tracks were played throughout the reception including Robyn's favorite 'Half The World Away' as well as other indie and Britpop tracks.

Robyn had visited the station countless times to catch trains before moving to Australia in her 30s so she thought it was the perfect place to stay with her bridal party.

She said it was actually her bridesmaid Joey Hall who came up with the idea of recreating the cover the night before her wedding day.

Robyn, who now lives in Perth, said: "She said let's do the Some Might Say cover - but in our wedding stuff.

“She gathered the materials we needed. She was collecting all the bits and bobs while we were having our hair and make-up done that morning.

"We asked the owner's permission and ran the idea past our photographer Lucy, who loved it.

"We’ve been going to the cottage for years and never thought of doing it before. And it was just before the reunion too.

"We had no idea that was going to happen just a few weeks later - I keep saying we manifested it.

"I've been fascinated by this place since I was young so I thought it was the ideal place to stay.

"It's a nice little claim to fame for Cromford. It's a very important song for Oasis too, to have one of their first big songs related to our quiet little village is beautiful.

"But when I was first listening to Oasis I didn’t know the link to the station. It was amazing to discover the link to one of my favorite bands.

“We had a festival-themed wedding on the day. There were a few Oasis tracks played throughout.

"Our band Waking Vegas played one and then there were some on the playlist and when I was getting ready that morning too.

“My favorite Oasis song is Half the World Away for obvious reasons with living away in Australia.

"My husband is English but we met in Perth and he's lived in Australia for longer than me."

Robyn has now vowed that she and her bridesmaids will go to the gig in their wedding attire if they can grab enough tickets for them all.

Robyn, who works in construction, added: "We managed to get some tickets but my bridesmaid needs some. If I get more, I'll wear my wedding dress to the gig.

“If all the girls get tickets we’ll definitely go in our wedding gear.

"I absolutely love Oasis. We have Oasis artwork around the house, I've loved them for as long as I remember being alive.

"I screamed the office down when I heard they were reforming, people must have thought I was mad.

“I’ve seen them a few times, Oasis are the crème de la crème."
