Duncan and Nedra's wedding 16/05/2014

What a wonderful day for a wedding.  What a wonderful opportunity to share with brothers and sisters in Christ from the Catholic, Baptist and Anglican communities.  Nedra looked gorgeous ! Duncan scrubbed up reasonably well too.  The service was lead by David Skinner and Father Jimmy from St Vincent's.
 
This link is to the poem Keith wrote and read on the day:    for Duncan and Nedra 16th May 2014

The HRBC input to the music - 'Los trios Duncan's Folly' 
 - well we looked like a mariachi band !!!!  
We were fortunate that Jeremy, Duncan's brother, 
lead with some brilliant keyboard work. 
Missed getting a photo of him though. 
Great time was had by the musicians !

Mike 'Santana' Payne, ditched the waistcoat

and entertained folk while photos were being taken.
