Top hats and long dresses filled the churchyard which must be one of the best tended in England. Strong hymns, including Hills of the North Rejoice and the Battle Hymn of the Republic, with a trumpet solo from Richard, were sung by the Choir and congregation. Sue Clark the organist could not have been more in her element with tunes such as "Zambezi" to echo the African theme to the wedding. |

The Bridal Party walked back along Station Road at a moment in time when no cars came by. Then a receiving line into the garden for festivities in the marquee and finally a departure for the honeymoon. |
