The Phoenix Theatre in Ross-on-Wye was transformed into a sacred space for the pagan wedding of Natalie Morgan and Benjamin Dew on October 31st. Rev Jane Coulthard acted as the couple's high priestess and led the ceremony in a circle of salt for protection.

Both Natalie's father, Terry and her twin sister Natasha escorted her down the aisle to 'Love song for a vampire' by Annie Lennox, performed by family friend counter tenor Chris Williams.

Exchanging of rings, readings by family members and personal vows were performed, as well as more traditional pagan rituals such as binding the couples hands together with ribbon and jumping a besom for their union and future children.
