PART TWO - A

You can see the stone arch in front of you. Stand and look through it. I am going to count down from 5 and then I want you to pass through the arch. Then this memory will end and a new one will begin. A different person from a different time and you will be met by a different guide, hold their hand and they will lead you…

Ready. Five, Four, Three, Two , One….

The sounds rumble and change to a new environment

Stop here.. You are 57 years old, I am your partner and I am holding your left hand. Don’t let go. You are looking at the pointed turret on the Old Courts building. I want you to slowly turn around and look back through the stone arch.

A picture is being taken and you are the photographer. Our daughter has just been married in that church. You are capturing the moments that will be the lasting memories of the day - a beautiful service surrounded by the whole family. You take one more photo and announce to the group to follow you, you are going to lead them to the reception.

Turn to your left and follow the path, past the hair salons along bishop gate.

Turn right at the key cutting shop onto Hallgate. Head up the street to Jaxons court on the left.

You run through your speech in your head as you walk. Thank you all for joining us today on this very special occasion. We are happy so many of you could make it. I’m not going to go on forever but just wanted to say a few words about our daughter and the person she has become..

The sound of the church bells is still ringing*
