ROMANTIC WEDDING
BRIDE WALKS A MILE. There was great excitement in the little village of Stoke Pero, near Porlock, Somerset, lately, when a wedding—the first for three years—was s-olemnised in the tiny church. The bride and bridegroom, both named Ettery, had to walk a mile through steep and narrow byways to the church, and on the return journey a well-known stag-hunter who had hidden in the bracken, sounded the rally on the hunting horn, much to the concern of the deer. Mr Ettery, who lives at Wembley, took a party of his friends down lor the ceremony. The population of Stoke Pero is only 30, and there are \o roads, no schools or policemen. Mrs. Ada Harding, who played the organ at the wedding, is also verger and sexton. There is no vicar.
