St Michael’s church, Malton is to celebrate marriage with a two-day exhibition of wedding dresses and wedding memorabilia on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th August.

It's hoped to raise vital funds for the upkeep of the church building.

Helen Shaw of St Michael's said, "We hope the event will be an enjoyable trip down memory lane for our parishioners and visitors.

"More than 25 dresses have been promised so far, including a dress that was worn at a celebrity wedding featured in 'Hello' magazine and we expect to have dresses belonging to three generations of the same family.

"There will be photos on display of the dresses being worn on the big day, as well as flower arrangements, wedding hats, popular wedding music and a chance to view the church’s historic marriage registers."

A rolling film show of St Michael’s weddings is being produced with photos dating back to the 1920s.
