Title: Wedding Day The noticeboard for Walker Parish Church changes to a large crowd gathers outside with the happy couple posing for photographs with family and friends. A small boy stands beside a woman in a distinctive red dress. She and a group of other women huddle together, nearby a group of men including the groom stand around laughing and chatting. A woman attempts to give the small boy a decorative lucky horseshoe, the woman in red convinces him to hold it and give it to the bride. The face of the bride and groom changes to show a large group of women having their photograph taken. The wedding party stand around in the churchyard, the bride holding a small bouquet. Eventually the party depart along a path, the happy couple walking arm-in-arm. Confetti is thrown on them as they pass through the lychgate. The couple sit in their wedding car parked on Duncan Street, on the pavement guests chatting. The car departs and guest continue to chat around the lychgate changes to show the exterior of the church and lychgate after the wedding guests have departed. A decorative float drives along a road, and the scene changes to the happy couple walking into a house carrying various packages. The film ends on the clocktower at Walker Parish Church, a row of trees with a high-rise apartment block in the distance and the film ends on colourful packages sitting on the floor or table.
