This mid to late 1960s film was shot on the UK mainland (possibly England) and shows a young couple being married. The film starts with a woman (probably the bride to be) wearing an unusual outfit decorated with pom-poms, flowers and silver items; before moving on to various shots of the wedding party outside the church and reception. The film ends with footage of people walking in a garden and exploring the woods.


Filmed by Dennis and Stella Shepherd. Donated by Chris and Peter Reep.
