Article: Mass vows mark 838 years of wedded bliss

A total of 838 years of wedded bliss were celebrated at a mass wedding vow renewal service held at a Bath church.

Twenty-two couples stood together, side by side, to renew their vows in a service led by the Rev Melanie Reed at Beechen Cliff Methodist Church.

Mrs Reed and her husband Paul also repeated their own vows after nearly 23 years of marriage.

Many of the couples' relatives, including former flower girls and bridesmaids, also attended the service.

The idea for the ceremony came from local couple Pauline and Geoff Hudd who wanted to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary.
