Vicar bans son, 2, from mum's wedding
A couple have accused a vicar of ruining their wedding after he ordered their two-year-old son out of the church for talking.
The Rev David Cameron halted the marriage of Ashley and Vicky Thorpe after their son, Cameron, began repeating his father's name.
The vicar stunned the 100-strong congregation by halting the service and announcing: "This is a legal ceremony and I cannot proceed with that going on. Will somebody please take him outside?"
As the couple stood at the altar in disbelief, Mr Thorpe's grandmother protested that Cameron was not misbehaving. But the vicar said she was 'making a scene' and ordered her to leave too.
The couple have complained to the Diocese of Lichfield, which has launched an investigation into Mr Cameron's conduct at Christ Church in Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent.
Mrs Thorpe, 20, an office administrator from Fenton, said: "A wedding is supposed to be the best day of a girl's life but my service was ruined by a nasty vicar.
"Cameron was only acting as any two-year-old would. It is completely unrealistic to expect a child to remain silent in church."
Mrs Thorpe said Mr Cameron had already offended the family during the wedding rehearsal, when he objected to her father, Denis Robinson, who suffers from arthritis, using a walking stick to escort her up the aisle.
She said the vicar also barred Cameron from acting as a page boy because he was 'too young' and because 'weddings were not the place for children'.
The Rev Cameron said: "This is a pastoral issue best resolved directly with the family. As such it would be inappropriate for me to offer any comment apart from to say that I entirely reject the allegations."
