The marriage took place at the Parish Church on Wednesday, of Mr. Tom MERRITT, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James MERRITT, of Hambridge, and Miss Dorothy BURGE, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. BURGE, of Swell, Fivehead. The Vicar (Rev. J. RIGBYE) officiated. The bride, who was attended by one bridesmaid, Miss Vera HARTLAND, niece of the bridegroom, wore a grey costume with hat to match, and carried a handsome bouquet of sweet peas, roses, and carnations. The bridesmaid, who also carried a bouquet of pink carnations and roses, was attired in a dress of cream tricolene, trimmed with blue. She wore a hat to match. The bride was given away by her father, Mr. Geo. BURGE, and Mr. Ernest MERRITT, brother of the bridegroom, acted as “best man.” The happy couple, whose new home is to be at Knole, Long Sutton, were the recipients of numerous presents.
