On Sunday 3rd May Paul Morris and Hayley Champ got married at St Peter's Church with their family, friends and congregation family. As a church family we have been on an inspiring journey with them. Their home is in Exeter but they call St Peter's their home church - Paul even proposed to Hayley in Shaldon. They attended worship here and joined the Electoral Roll which gave the permission to marry here. They expressed a desire to know more about faith and were confirmed in the church by Bishop Mike back in March. They wrote after their big day "Thankyou so much for our lovely service yesterday. We are both so happy, the church looked amazing and to have so many regulars with us made our day."
We wish you many happy years together Mr and Mr Morris!
