Glastonbury Festival service for newlyweds is 'icing on the cake' to their romance

A music-loving couple have said how "blessed" they feel after "sealing" their marriage during a special service at Glastonbury Festival. Stuart Beauchamp and Anna Stevens took part in a handfasting ceremony on Worthy Farm a few weeks after tying the knot.

The service featured the ancient ritual which sees couples bind their wrists together with cloth to declare their commitment to each other. The celebrant - Glenda Procter from the Forest of Dean - advised Stuart and Anna to keep the cloth tied to each other for as long as possible.

Stuart and Anna first met in 1998 and have been attending Glastonbury every year possible over the last decade. The couple - who wore Day of the Dead-style clothing - said the service at Worthy Farm was the "icing on the cake" for them.
