CHRISTMAS WEDDINGS
VICAR INCREASES FEES
There were fewer Christmas morning weddings in the poorer parishes of London last year. Some vicars discourag'd their parishioners from asking for Christmas 1 Day ceremonies because this popular wedding day in the. East End falls on a Sunday, and there are all the ordinary church services, as well as more. Communion services than usual. The vicar of the Christ Church, South Hackney, the Rev.. Lambert Foxell, puts up tli'e fees for Sunday weddings. “I do it to prohibit the weddings when Christmas Day comes on a Sunday,” he said, “and so this year we have only one marriage ceremony.” An East-End-of-London vicar's-wife whose husband had ten couples to marry after the nvOrnihg service on, Christmas Day, said the custom was altogether irritating and inconsiderate.
