Youngsters from the nursery and reception classes at Hambleton Primary School joined children from the parish church's Waterside Duckling pre-school group to take part in a ceremony played out every week in churches across the land.
The children's wedding may have been pretend, but its aim was to teach them a lesson in the importance of love, belief and sharing.
It bore all the hallmarks of a regular wedding - Mali arrived with his best man, Jacob Anderson, the bride arrived in style in an open top Audi cabriolet complete with ribbon trim, she was marched up the aisle by her 'dad' Harvey Chamberlain, and, of course, the vicar, Rev Stephen Gray, was on hand to carry out the official ceremony.
The proceedings were planned right down to the very last detail, with an exchange of pipecleaner rings followed by hymns and a rendition of nursery favourite 'If You're Happy and You Know It...', and a reception of lemonade and buns.
Reception teacher Elaine Duke said: "Our Foundation Unit go to the Waterside Ducklings pram service every month for young children's worship. It covers the curriculum area of knowledge and understanding of the world and learning about our culture and beliefs.
"We have been learning about celebrations, previously having a baptism, which had an enormous impact on the children and was a memorable experience for them.
"We always try to make learning as enjoyable and interactive as possible. It seemed appropriate to role play a realistic wedding ceremony.
"Everything was carefully planned right down to buttonholes, bouquets and confetti - all made by the children. We all had a wonderful day."
