Describe the best wedding that happened at Rosslyn Hill Chapel?
The best moment was after the couple had signed the register. The pianist played 'Signed, Sealed and Delivered' by Stevie Wonder. The couple went back to their places at to the front of the Chapel and as they went down the aisle, they held hands and danced to the music. Spontaneously the congregation got to their feet clapping and then they started dancing too. It was so special!
