Wedding

Hatchett-Deards

A pretty wedding was solemnized at Layston Parish Church, on Saturday last, February 26th, the contracting parties being Mr William Hatchett and Miss Annie Gertrude Deards, both of Buntingford. The Rev. A. Howard, Vicar of Layston Parish Church, officiated.

Mr Hatchett has been captain of the Buntingford Football Club for four seasons. He has played for the town club since being demobilized from the Army, and has always set a standard of clean sporting play.

The bride, who was attired in cream silk moracain with veil and orange blossom, was attended by two bridesmaids - Miss Hatchett, sister of the bridegroom (who was dressed in Wedgewood blue silk moracain, with hat to match); and Miss Renie Randall, a niece of the bride (who wore a dress of pale blue crepe-de-chine, with pink rose-buds.) She was given away by her father, and the duties of best man were carried by her brother (Mr Leonard Deards).

On leaving the Church, the happy pair arrived at the home of the bridegroom, to receive congratulations from his father and invalid mother, and after the reception - which was held at the home of the bride - journeyed to London for a short honeymoon.

The presents numbered between 40 and 50.
