Our Wedding Day

1949 , Norwich (Norfolk)

Cat no. 6203

A professionally produced record of the wedding of Mr Henry Woods and Miss Remina Valori.

On a cold and blustery November afternoon in 1949, guests arrive at the Roman Catholic Chapel of St George in Fishergate, Norwich, to attend the wedding of Mr Henry Woods and Miss Remina Valori. Departing from a property on the corner of Philadelphia Lane and Catton Grove North, the bridal party arrive at the chapel in a pair of Rolls Royce cars, followed by the bride, dressed in traditional white. Brief glimpses of the inside of the chapel show the ceremony underway, before the newlyweds emerge smiling and posing for photographs. The bridal party depart in the Rolls Royce cars with the guests following in a pair of coaches, all headed for the reception venue, the White Horse in Brundall. There, the bridal party and guests sit down to a formal dinner, followed by the cake cutting, a toast, speeches and telegrams and an ice cream dessert. With the formalities out of the way, the party begins as guests dance, drink tea, chat and sign the bridal book. A succession of guests sing songs, accompanied by a piano, followed by a group dance. The evening ends with another toast to the happy couple, as two young girls sing 'For He's a Jolly Good Fellow' and the guests begin to leave. The film concludes with the newlyweds surveying their wedding presents.
