MIDGETS MARRIED
Women fainted and were trampled on among thousands of holiday-mak-ers who gathered at Blackpool on July 6 to see a 40-inch bridegroom, a 38-inch bride, and four bridesmaids all under inches. Police cleared a way for 28-year-old Herman Retter and his bride, 27-year-old Annie Kneps, both German circus performers, to enter Talbot Road Roman Catholic Church.
