CHILDREN and parents at a Kidderminster primary school attended a winter wedding with a difference, with a re-enactment of a traditional Muslim ceremony.

In the run up to the big day, nursey and reception pupils at St Mary’s CE Primary School enlisted help from parents to prepare food, jewellery and flowers.

The event, on Thursday, November 26 was organised by early years teachers Sue Edwards and Karen King.

Mrs King said: “This term’s topic was weddings and we have a large proportion of Muslim families at our school so wanted to look at the how a Muslim ceremony might be different to the traditional weddings that the children may have been to.”

Groom Tyler Trow, 5 and his bride Mizzy Reeve,5 took part in marriage traditions such as signing the book, exchanging flower necklaces and feeding one another cake and water.

Fellow pupils and their parents celebrated by joining the newly-weds in a meal and dancing.

Mrs King added: “It was wonderful. Everybody had a really nice time and it was nice for the parents to share in the celebration with us.”
