BEST MAN MARRIED.
CLERGYMAN’S MISTAKE. MIX-UP IN IRELAND. Received November 12, 12.55 p.m. DUBLIN, Nov. 12. A bridal party in a' village church at Countv Tyrone got mixed up when the best man took a position at the Communion rails which should have been occupied by the bridegroom. Rev. William Duncan proceeded with the ceremony and prompted the best man, who nervously hesitated over the responses, particularly when it came, to “I will,” but the clergyman, thinking he was the bridegroom whispered, “You must answer.” After the party went to the vestry to sign the register the clergyman was horrified to find he had married the best man. He’ immediately returned to the altar for a fresh ceremony and married the right man.
