EMMA ELIZABETH THOMAS

The wedding took place last month, at Pisgah Baptist Chapel, Cresswell Quay, of Simon James Hayward and Emma Elizabeth Thomas.

The groom, a police officer, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Hayward, of Lamphey, while the bride, a police community support officer, is the daughter of Mrs. Ann Thomas and the late Mr. Ray Thomas, of Cresselly.

Given away by her mother, the bride wore a designer Alfred Angelo ivory A-line lace gown, with a cathedral length veil, and carried a teardrop bouquet of cream roses and lilac freesia.

Best man was Rhys Hawkins, while the ushers were Chris Ball and Mike Stevenson (all friends of the groom). Page boy was Finlay Ball (godson).

Maid of honour was Tammy Walters, while the bridesmaids were Olivia Beck and Alex Aicken (all friends of the bride), who wore floor length Victorian lilac, one shoulder chiffon dresses.

The ceremony, which was conducted by Rev. David Gooding, with Janice Scourfield at the organ, was followed by a reception at the Giltar Hotel in Tenby.

The couple travelled to New York for their honeymoon and will be making their future home in Sageston.
