For the first time ever, St John’s Church Halesowen recently hosted a wedding fayre.
The church was inundated with companies who wished to display their services and had a collection of wedding couples come to have a look around.
There were even had quite a few vintage wedding dresses on display!
Each couple were offered a ‘goodie bag’ and a glass of fizzy elderflower as they looked around the different stalls inside the church.
One couple said: “We didn’t know we could get married in church,” and another said: “We’ve never been inside this church, it’s beautiful!”
