Welcome!
Firstly, thank you for coming to join us celebrate the inevitable.
Its been a long time in the making and has been a matter of
when not if for almost as long.
We wanted to bring together all the miscreants and oddballs
we know and love together, to make this something none of
us will forget.
Well the wait is almost over!
Onwards!

Entrance of the wedding party
Welcome from Rev. Richard Harding
1st Hymn – One more step along the world I go:
“One more step along the world I go,
One more step along the world I go.
From the old things to the new
Keep me travelling along with you.
And it’s from the old I travel to the new,
Keep me travelling along with you.
Round the corners of the world I turn,
More and more about the world I learn.
All the new things that I see
You’ll be looking at along with me.
And it’s from the old I travel to the new,
Keep me travelling along with you.
As I travel through the bad and good
Keep me travelling the way I should.
Where I see no way to go
You’ll be telling me the way, I know.
7

And it’s from the old I travel to the new,
Keep me travelling along with you.
Give me courage when the world is rough,
Keep me loving though the world is tough.
Leap and sing in all I do,
Keep me travelling along with you.
And it’s from the old I travel to the new,
Keep me travelling along with you.
You are older than the world can be,
You are younger than the life in me.
Ever old and ever new,
Keep me travelling along with you.
And it’s from the old I travel to the new,
Keep me travelling along with you.”
The Marriage Vows
2nd Hymn – Morning Has Broken:
“Morning has broken,
Like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken
Like the first bird;
Praise for the singing,
Praise for the morning,
Praise for them springing
Fresh from the Word.
8

Sweet the rain’s new fall,
Sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall
On the first grass;
Praise for the sweetness,
Of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness
Where his feet pass.
Mine is the sunlight,
Mine is the morning,
Born of the one light
Eden saw play;
Praise with elation,
Praise every morning,
God’s re-creation
Of the new day.”
Readings:
Song of Soloman; Chapter 8, Verses 6-7

Marriage Morning - Alfred Lord Tennyson

3rd Hymn – Jerusalem:
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land.

Photos, Drinks, Food and Friends
After the ceremony we will have a quick photo op, and
the coach will take us back to Tapnell Farm where if
the weather is good we will have bubbly in the manor
garden, or if its more inclement weather we will head
over to the yurt.
To keep you dancing into the night, at around 8pm dig
in to a hog roast cooked over an open fire!
Served with rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Potatoes, coleslaw and other salad
Macaroni cheese
Hot dogs for the kiddos!
And after we have all gone to bed, passed out and
woken up refreshed, we would love for you to come
say hi on Sunday morning at the manor!
If you have any allergies or dietary
requirements please let Julie our lovely
