When the bridal party emerged from the vestry the strains of the Wedding March was the signal to friends waiting outside to freely besprinkle the happy couple with showers of rice as they approached the church door, and the übiquitous photographer was also in evidence to take snaps ere they reached the motor car, which conveyed them to the residence of Mr and Mrs Morris, where a duiuty wedding breakfast had been provided, and here bride and bridegroom received the felicitations of their friends.
