SHEPTON BEAUCHAMP.
MARRIAGE. - An interesting and very pretty wedding took place at St. Michael's Church, last week, when Mr. William Wheadon JACOBS, of Hurcott, Seavington, was united in matrimony to Miss Gwendoline Kate ENGLAND, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ENGLAND, the Manor Farm, Shepton Beauchamp. The Rev. H. J. Cash MATTHEWS, cousin of the bride, performed the ceremony, assisted by the Rev. A. LETHBRIDGE, vicar of Shepton Beauchamp, who gave the address. The service was fully choral, the hymns, “The Voice that breathed o'er Eden” and “Thine for ever, God of Love,” being sung. Mr. W. BERRY, a friend from Leicester, presided at the organ, and played the “Bridal March” from Lohengrin as the bride entered the church. During the signing of the register Mendelssohn's “Wedding March” was rendered. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a gown of ivory charmeuse, embroidered with seed pearls and finished at the side with handsome pearl ornament and tassel reaching to the hem. She also wore a bridal veil, with wreath of white heather and orange blossom, and carried a shower bouquet of blue and mauve centaureas and delphiniums, harmonising with the shades of the bridesmaids' frocks. Four children attended the bride as bridesmaids and looked very pretty. The two elder, Miss Viola ENGLAND (sister) and Miss Ruth BICKENSON (cousin of the bride), wore dresses of pale mauve crepe-de-chine and lace caps, trimmed with forget-me-nots of blue and mauve. They carried bouquets of mauve bougainoillea, and wore gold bangles, the gifts of the bridegroom. The two tiny children, Mary and Muriel WYATT, nieces of the bridegroom, wore frocks of pale blue crepe-de-chine and lace caps trimmed with blue and mauve forget-me-nots. They carried baskets of blue delphiniums and wore gold bangles, also the gifts of the bridegroom. The bride's mother wore a gown of amethyst crepe-de-chine embroidered grey, finished at the side with handsome tassel ornament of grey and mauve, and wore a hat of darker toning. The bridegroom's mother wore a gown of night blue charmeuse with embroidered panels and hat to tone. Mr. Dick SAVAGE, friend of the bridegroom, ably carried out the duties of best man. After the ceremony, a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, about 100 guests being present. Later in the day the happy pair left by car for Taunton en route for London, where the honeymoon is being spent. The bride's going-away gown was soft blue silk marocain trimmed mole. She wore a hat of similar colourings and mole coat. The bridegroom's gift to the bride was a diamond cluster ring, and the bride presented the bridegroom with a roll-top desk. The presents, which numbered over 120, were of a beautiful and useful character. After the ceremony a merry peal was rung during the afternoon by the ringers of the church. - On Thursday of last week the employees at Hurcott and the Manor Farm were entertained by the bride and bridegroom's parents at the Manor Farm.
