Povey clan grows
The Povey family of Grange Park turned out in force on
3 September to celebrate the wedding of Charlie, 21, to
Craig Preston.
Sue and Ian Povey's 14 other children were all brides-
maids and ushers at St Mary's Church, Lydiard Park,
whilst their four grandchildren were also there, including
one born five days before the big event.
Great grandparents John and Sheila from Old Town
and lots of friends also squeezed into the church for the
ceremony which was followed by a reception at
Freshbrook Community Centre.
"It was a lovely church service, following an exciting
week with the arrival of Hannah's baby daughter." said
Sue. 'The weather was very kind to us, so it was also a
great opportunity to be able to take photos of the whole
family together."
