Miss Constance Hall, well known in the town and district as a gifted elocutionist, was a bride at the Rushden Independent Wesleyan Church on Thursday. She is the elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Hall of “Eltham House” Crabb Street, Rushden, who have been devoted workers at the church for many years.
The bridegroom was Mr. Raymond Britten, elder son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Britten of 50 Grove Road, Rushden.
Given away by her father, the bride was charmingly attired in a dusty pink moss crepe dress, with brown hat, shoes and gloves. There was one bridesmaid, Miss Muriel Nix, of Northampton, who wore a turquoise blue silk dress with maroon trimmings and maroon hat, shoes and gloves. Mr. Frank Linnett, of Banbury, was best man.
The service was taken by the Rev. T.S. Kee, and the organist was Miss M. Stapleton, who played appropriate music. The hymn was “O Perfect Love.”
A reception was held at the bride’s home. Mr. and Mrs. Britten will reside at 1, York Road.
Note: Mr and Mrs Britten later moved to 50, Grove Road to take over his father’s bakery business.
