Title - Our wedding 18th April 1981.
A sign outside a church reads, 'Heworth Parish church trinity 1981', before several views show the exterior of the Heworth Parish church. Inside, the church is empty and sweeping pans show the deserted altar and the stained glass windows. The groom and best man stand outside the church entrance wearing ties and suits. On the street several cars are parked and guests stand around taking photos of a young boy and girl earing formal wear and holding flowers. Several children then stand around in a circle and one of the boys tries to hold another boys hand, but he refuses, keeping his hand tucked away. The filmmaker then focuses on several walls of the church.
A wedding car pulls up to the curb and outsteps the bride in a long, flowing white dress, and she is led towards the church by her father. Further shots capture the exterior of the church, including the steeples and stone gargoyles. Inside, the bride is led down the aisle, before she is outside again, posing for photos with the groom, her father and the page boy and girl. The bride and groom, now man and wife, pose briefly beside the sleek black wedding car, before it pulls away and drives down the street.
Title - Hardly "The End" but really the beginning.
