Much interest was centred in the marriage, which took place at the Parish Church, Rushden, yesterday, of Miss Jessie May Darnell, younger daughter of Mr. William Henry Darnell, of Lynton House, Church-street, Rushden, to First A.M. Charles Howe Stormer, R.A.F., third son of Mr. and the late Mrs. John Stormer, of Luton.  The bride, who was given away by her father, was fashionably gowned in cream Gaberdine embroidered silver.  She also wore a bridal veil with wreath of orange blossom, and carried a posy of white roses, the gift of the bridegroom.  The bridesmaid was Miss Elizabeth Panter (friend of the bride), who was tastefully attired in lavender Gaberdine Georgette and Tricote, with hat to match.  She carried a posy of pink roses, and wore a gold amethyst ring (the gifts of the bridegroom).  The duties of best man were ably carried out by Mr. George O. Toon (friend of the bridegroom), and the ceremony was conducted by the Rector (Rev. P. E. Robson).

As the guests assembled in the sacred edifice, Mr. J. E. Smith (organist) contributed appropriate music, including the “Bridal March” and “Procession to the Minster” from “Lohengrin” (Wagner), “Arietta” (Coleridge-Taylor), and “Allegretto” (Dicks).  As the bride and bridegroom left the church Mr. Smith played Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March.”  Subsequent to the ceremony a reception was held at Lynton House, Rushden (the bride’s home), and later in the day First A.M. and Mrs. Stormer left for the south of England for the honeymoon, the bride’s travelling attire consisting of a neat costume of lime green covert coating, with cream velour hat.  The bridegroom, up to the time of joining His Majesty’s forces, was manager of the Rushden branch of Messrs. Webb Brothers, clothiers, etc.  First A.M. and Mrs. Stormer were the recipients of many expressions of felicitation in the shape of numerous and costly wedding gifts.
