There are blizzards of confetti in this wedding montage which also features holidays in the West Country and the Empress Queen

J. Lambert's home movie begins with a church wedding where the couple are pelted with confetti. A seaside montage follows including mini-golf, pleasure boats, promenading and swimming. We visit the Babbacombe Cliff Railway and the village of Dunster, in Somerset. Further weddings follow and more confetti is thrown at the happy couples. Visits to quaint villages and the beach follow before we end with scenes showing a happy couple attending the christening of their baby.
