BANNS THAT BANNED
A COUPLE DISAPPOINTED A young woman living in ilio West Somerset village of Huisli KpLcopi, and her sweetheart .were recently anxiously counting the days to the lirst week iu November, when they were to make their second attempt to bo married. In October the intending bride Miss 13. M. Lewis and her would-be husband, Mr J. T, Taylor, arrived at the Huish Episcopal Church for the marriage, the girl wearing
her wedding finery and attended by bridesmaids. Many friends were at the church. Just as the service was about to begin the clergyman sprung a surprise by refusing to marry the couple because their banns had not been properly called. Sadly the young folk had to return home unwed, and they had to wait three weeks for the banns to bo announced again. The mistake that prevented their wedding was that the bridegroom neglected to have the banns called at the church in his homo parish as well as.having them called' at the bride’s church. In the circumstances it would have been illegal for them to have been married.
