Samantha Nice and Andrew Collins
On Saturday 25 September, some 10,458 days after marrying her parents Richard and Jackie, the Very Right Reverend John Richardson, Bishop of Bedford, returned to St. Pauls to marry Samantha Nice and Andrew Collins. Three generations of both families, plus many friends and relatives, packed the church to witness a very special service conducted jointly by John and Angela. John had also christened Samantha, and her brother Andrew, and it meant so much to the family to welcome him and his wife, ‘Felicity-Ann, back to St. Pauls for the wedding.
Samantha was attended by three bridesmaids, friends Emma Fulton, Julia Walton and Rachel Kinstead. Andrews best man was Andrew Feehely, and his two brothers, Robert and Richard Collins, Mark Jones and Andrew Nice were his ushers. Despite heavy rain showers throughout the day, everyone enjoyed a reception at the brides home at Commonwood which continued well into the early hours of Sunday morning (apologies to the neighbours for any disturbance!).
Samantha and Andrew have now returned from a wonderful honeymoon, starting in San Francisco and travelling through California, Nevada and the Nappa Valley and staying on Lake Tahoe. They will now make their home in Watford. Jackie Nice
