The first stage in the ceremony is for the "priest" and "priestess" to call upon the elements to seal a circle and make it a sacred and protected space for the ceremony.

The congregation stand around the edge of the circle.

The couple make their vows

Kelly looked wonderful and Ally was wearing chain mail and antlers

Ally's mum is the lady on the left in purple.

The hands are tied together to make the bride and groom a couple, recognised by the community

Here they are, fastened together

The best man (Topoff) is in the circle behind the happy couple wearing a tailcoat and boarskin helmet.

Gifts of cake and mead are consumed by the couple and the congregation.

It's not easy when your hands are tied together - it symbolises looking after one another.

The couple "jump the broomstick" - which is the gateway between the sacred circle and the community.

They are now recognised by the community as a couple.

This was all a bit too exciting for Ali and Joe

We did a couple of dances.

Kelly declined to join in for fear of tripping over her dress.

Witchmens Thistle seemed like an appropriate dance for the occasion.

Witchmens Thistle comes to an end

We set up an East Acton.

So many people wanted to join in that we had to move onto the grass

The pigs enjoyed watching it from their pen

The East Acton in progress

Both of Kelly's brothers (in white shirts) and her dad (Mike) are in the dance.

And coming to an enthusiastic end
