Wedding cake and sparkling wine were strapped to a child's sledge and pulled for half a mile through snow drifts up to fifteen feet deep on Saturday. The licensee of the Lydgate Inn, Blackstone Edge Old Road, Mr Graham Kershaw, his wife Mary and cellarman Barry, made the journey for Miss Anne Howard and her husband to be Mr Michael Day, after the weather forced the transfer of their wedding reception to the Cemetery Hotel, Bury Road. The bride's mother Mrs nancy Hoyle said 'We shall never forget that wedding.'
