Cathy and Roger live in Florida and were planning a large wedding party in North Yorkshire when they contacted me for help.

The sun shone brilliantly all weekend on their celebrations which included both families and lots of friends from both sides of The Atlantic.

Some churches still have the tradition of tying the lichgate up whilst the ceremony is taking place – it only being opened once local children have been given some money. Not only was the church gate tied, but also the road bridge into Dalton village. Luckily Cathy and Roger were aware of the traditions and had lots of change, in a special wedding purse, to “buy their freedom” out of church and through Dalton.
