STRETCHER MARRIAGE
BRIDE TAKEN FROM HOSPITAL Crowds attended the stretcher wedding of Miss Nellie Walker, a Pendleton (Manchester) bride, recently. Miss Walker was taken by ambulance from the hospital, where she had been lying for some time, to the church. She was met at the church door by the bridegroom, and then carried to the altar on a stretcher. At the conclusion of the wedding ceremony both bride and bridegroom entered the ambulance, which took them to the bride’s home. They had arranged to be wed on February 20 last, but the bride was knocked down by a motor-cycle aud so seriously- injured that her life was despaired of. As soou as the hospital authorities pronounced her fit to be moved, although not yet able to walk, the delay ed wedding was arranged to take place. A doctor friend of the bride, who was to have given her away-, died while she was in hospital.
