About Many Waters
Many Waters is a 1986 novel by Madeleine L'Engle, part of the author's Time Quintet. The title is taken from the Song of Solomon 8:7: "Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. If a man were to give all his wealth for love, it would be utterly scorned. "
North Yorkshire newlyweds 'delighted' after flooding drama
Hannah Riley and Rob Knibbs got married on Saturday
A couple who had to quickly change plans after flash flooding hit their wedding reception venue say they are "delighted how things turned out".
Hannah Riley, 28 and Rob Knibbs, 29, were married on Saturday at St Andrew Church in Grinton, North Yorkshire .

The couple, who live in Richmond, managed to find a village hall in Hudswell that was free.
More Than 80 guests had been due to stay at the hostel overnight and had to be found alternative accommodation.
The couple had booked Grinton Lodge Youth Hostel because of the views over the Yorkshire DalesThrough their local newspaper Richmondshire Today, they put out a plea for any spare rooms in B& Bs.
"Even though it wasn't what was planned it turned out to be wonderful," the couple said.
