| The marriage was solemnized at the Park-road Baptist Church, Rushden, on Sunday of Miss Gertrude Lilian Green, younger daughter of the late Mr. Jos. Green, and Mrs. Green, of 119, High-street, Rushden, and Mr. Herbert George Hopes, son of the late Supt. Hopes, of Ipswich Police Force. The Rev. H. J. Horn officiated.
The bride, who was given away by her uncle, Mr. William Green, wore a biscuit-coloured costume and black hat, and carried a bouquet of lilies and white heather. She was attended by three bridesmaids—Miss Ivy Parker (Bedford), and Miss Ada Green (cousins), and little Miss Joan Iliffe (niece). The elder bridesmaids wore navy blue costumes, and hats to match, and the little girl looked very pretty in a white silk frock and mob cap. All wore gold brooches, the gift of the bridegroom. Mr. Fred Green (cousin of the bride) was best man. A reception at the bride’s home followed the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Hopes are spending their honeymoon at Ipswich. The wedding gifts were numerous and useful.
