Newly weds Ashley and Vicky Thorpe have accused the vicar that performed their wedding ceremony of ruining the event when he excluded the couples’ two-year-old son from the church for talking.
The vicar brought the wedding to a standstill after young Cameron began to repeat his Dads’ name.
The vicar staggered the hundred or so wedding guests and members of the congregation by stopping the service and proclaiming that since a wedding is considered a legal ceremony he did not intend to continue until the chattering had ceased and requested that somebody take the child outside of the church.
As the bewildered couple waited at the altar in complete astonishment, their son’s grandmother complained that Cameron was not being naughty but the Vicar insisted that the Cameron be removed and he was eventually taken into the church courtyard by his aunt.
Ashley and Vicky have lodged an official complaint to church officials, who have since begun an investigation into the Vicars handling of the situation after claims from the new Mr. & Mrs. Thorpe that the ill-tempered cleric was both unrealistic and unreasonable in his requests that the toddler remained silent for the ceremony.
The Rev David Cameron, who carried out the marriage of Vicky 20, and Ashley, aged 21, is claimed to have “entirely rejected” their version of events. The couple have declared that they have released this information into the public domain in order to warn other couples who may be considering the church in Fenton, Stoke on Trent for their big day, and have confirmed that they have no intention of requesting a refund for the £500 cost of the service.
