The Wedding of Billy and Joyce 25 March 1950

Congratulations to the happy couple! A lovely record of a special day in Lancaster.

This beautifully shot colour film takes us to a special family event. We arrive with the bridal party and guests at the Greaves Methodist Church in Lancaster for the wedding ceremony. When the happy couple have emerged from the church, it's off to the Kings Arms Hotel for the reception, and then the departure of the confetti-strewn newlyweds, waved off on honeymoon by family and friends.
