 Despite the thick covering of autumn leaves and the grey overcast day, nothing could spoil the colour and excitement of our final wedding service of the year as Louise entered church accompanied by her three stylish bridesmaids. As the "Bridal March" played, she walked down the aisle to be greeted by Stuart and our Rector Kip. There followed a traditional service which was especially special as Louise and Stuart have come to be well known to us at St Peter’s and we had been looking forward to this day. The hymns chosen were “Morning has broken” and “Jerusalem” whilst the readings were and a passage from “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin”. We wish Stuart and Louise our best wishes from all at St Peter’s for their future happiness. Louise shows off her ring to Kip
If you are considering a wedding service at St Peter’s please have a look at the details below and do not hesitate to contact a member of the staff who will be delighted to help discuss a possible service. In the meantime, please have a look at a few of the services that have taken place in St Peter’s this year

The most recent service saw Julie and Bernie marry in a service conducted by Richard, our curate. Julie and Bernie chose the hymns “Bind me together” and “O Jesus I have promised” and a reading from 1 Corinthians.
 Earlier in the day Paul and Rachael celebrated their marriage and renewed their vows in a wonderfully intimate service in the chapel surrounded by their close family. This was a really special occasion for all who were present.
 A week earlier had seen Sarah and Stefano slalom down the aisle in between a row of bay trees as they too celebrated their marriage vows in front of an enthusiastic group of friends and relations.
 Last but by no means least was the marriage between Adrian and Lyndsey on a bright Sunday afternoon. Kip, the Rector, officiated again at this service and it was just another special day at St Peter’s. Congratulations to all these couples and we wish them all the best for their future happiness together.
 Great celebrations at St Peter’s on Saturday as our young curate, Penny, married her fiancé, Will. Penny arrived reasonably promptly for her in a car driven by her fellow curate, Richard. Surely this was a first for St Peter’s and could give Richard a good second career. A really great celebration in church and, very much in Penny’s own style, there was plenty of music for the large congregation to sing. Kip returned from holiday to take the service and friends Bryan and Alwyn gave a thoughtful address. At the end of the service the congregation celebrated in church with light refreshments and afterwards went across to the church hall for the formal reception.
The reception was indeed a great success and it is a very long time since the hall was used for a wedding reception following a service in church and proved a wonderful venue. The whole day was a teat and the reception guests waved Penny and Will off for, I understand, a romantic week in Italy.  Ready for the celebrations  Pen & Will outside church |
