WEDDING AT HOLY TRINITY PARISH CHURCH
On Easter Monday at Holy Trinity Church, Hinkley, Miss E. Garner, only daughter of the late Mr. John Garner, builder of Hinkley, was married to Mr. W. Weaver, builder and contractor of The Strand, Bromsgrove. The Rev C Davies officiated.
The bride wore a very pretty blue dress and carried a trailing bouquet of choice white flowers. Miss Ada Flavell and Miss Elsie Garner (niece), who acted as bridesmaids, also had very preety bouquets, and wore gold bracelets, the gifts of the bridegroom. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr. T. Garner, and Mr. Weaver was attended by his brother, Mr. J. T. Weaver, as best man. A very pretty scene was witnessed after the bride and bridegroom left the vestry, when Master Boyd Weaver and Miss Gladys Garner, who were dressed in white, went in front of the newly-married couple and threw flowers in their path, while outside the Church they were received with showers of confetti.
The ceremony was witnessed by a great many friends, the Church being nearly full. Amongst those present were noticed Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby Garner and Miss Margery Garner, Mrs. T. Garner, Mrs J Weaver and Master Boyd Weaver (Bromsgrove), Mr. and Mrs. T. Guest (Droitwich), Mrs Boulton Brooks, Mrs Flavell, Mrs C Davies, Mrs R.E.Hill, Misses Pickering, etc., etc.
A reception was afterwards held by Mrs. J. Garner at Chessher Street, when the health of the bride and bridegroom was proposed by Mr. Willoughby Garner and responded to by Mr. W. Weaver. Shortly afterwards the bride and bridegroom left for London, where the honeymoon was to be spent.
