On a chilly Tuesday morning the children of Year One made their way to Spoor Methodist Church for a very special wedding. Their friends were going to be married.
After changing into their special costumes, the children got to their places. The ushers gave out service sheets and showed the guests to their places. The groom and his best man waited nervously near the front. When Mrs Ducker began to play the organ all assembled got to their feet to see the beautiful bride and her handsome father walking down the aisle followed by the five pretty bridesmaids. Readers read out poems about love and marriage, the congregation sang and all fell silent as the bride and groom made their important vows. The best man gave Rev. Liz the wedding rings and they were placed on fingers. Everyone clapped for the happy couple.
Then Year One posed for photographs and there were relieved smiles on everyone's faces. Rev. Liz congratulated the bride and groom for saying their promises so clearly and for the splendid behaviour of the whole class. Waving goodbye to Rev. Liz the children made their way back to school now looking forward to the Reception party.
Year One would like to say thank you to everyone who came to the church to share their wedding day, those who organised the wedding outfits and especially to those mums who accompanied them to and from the church. A big THANK YOU also to Rev. Liz for conducting the service and to Mrs Ducker who played the music in the church.
