Thomas, fourth daughter of the late Rev. J. S. Thomas, Bursar of

the church, while the chancel was decorated with festoons of wild clematis
and white flowers, arranged by parishioners under the direction of Mrs. W.
J. Coulter. The officiating clergy were the Rev. R. Ryder, the bride's
brother-in-law, the Very Rev. the Dean of Winchester, and the Rev. W. J.
Coulter, rector. The excellent music was a distinguishing feature of the
ceremony, Mr. W. A. Howell, a friend of the bride and bridegroom, playing
the organ. The bride, who was given away by her brother-in-law, Mr. Thomas
Pellatt, wore a dress of soft ivory satin and Limerick lace, and she
carried a bouquet and wore three roes of pearls, the gift of the
bridegroom. Miss Hestar Pellatt, niece of the bride, was bridesmaid, and
Masters Peter and George Rylands, nephews of the bride, acted as pages.
The 'best man' was Mr. B. O. Corbett, brother of the bridegroom. The
ceremony was followed by a reception at Durnford House, at which a number
of guests were present. The bride and bridegroom were the recipients of
between 200 and 300 presents."
