The groom is. often as nervous as, perhaps more so than, the bride. Occasionally both are fluttered. There was one couple in Christchurch who, depending on the whispered counsel of the clergyman, followed him almost too literally. The service had gone through without a hitch, but with much quiet prompting, and the moment came for the bride and groom to go forward on their own. “Follow me to the altar,” whispered the clergyman, and, turning his back, advanced slowly. Something —probably a subdued titter in the congregation—prompted him to turn. The couple were certainly following him—but painfully and slowly on their knees.
