First on the scene was Win Chester. She was quickly joined by other members of the wedding party, who had all heard the shots.

Everyone returned to Salina’s house to await the arrival of the police, and to try to determine who wanted the wedding stopped so badly that they were prepared to kill.

As they assembled around the table laid with the no-longer-needed wedding breakfast a hush fell.......

Groom.


A tall, handsome young man, with velvet brown eyes and brown curly hair.
Simon has no memory of his father, Hunter Land, who died when he was a baby. He moved with his mother, Liza, back to her childhood village.

A beautiful woman, who married Homer, ten years her junior, two years ago. 

SALINA EARTH.

Brides Mother.

Groom’s Step-father

A 26 year old self-employed plumber, with rugged good looks. Employed to do some work at Lodge Cottage a couple of years ago, he  met Liza and they fell instantly in love . After a whirlwind wedding Homer moved into Lodge Cottage. He is now selective in the jobs he undertakes.
Close to his step-son. 

REV. OLVER.

Vicar.

A bit of a tearaway in his youth, with a fast motorbike and a string of girlfriends. 

Much to everyone’s surprise, Randy had a change of heart and become a vicar on leaving school. He is now resident vicar at St Pauls Little Upingham.

For the last six months his niece, Win Chester, has been staying with him. 

KASS ANOVER.

Best Man.

With charisma which few women can resist, there are a string of broken hearts in the  wake of Simon’s best friend and best man.

Kass' father is "Boss" Anover, head of the local pipe making factory.

CANDY SWEET.

A beautiful young lady with flaming red hair and a bright, sunny disposition.
Candy is a school friend of Helen, Simon and Kass.

As chief bridesmaid, Candy has been instrumental in helping to plan this wedding.

WIN CHESTER.

Bridesmaid.

Newly arrived in Little Upingham six months ago, Win is Rev. Olver's niece.
 
Although win has wavy hair, and Helen’s is straight, they have been mistaken for sisters. Strange as there is no family connection.

Surprised and honoured to be asked to be bridesmaid, Win  was overjoyed because she loves weddings.

You own the local factory which produces piping and plumbing equipment.
