Wedding

There was a large number of persons present at the Congregational Church, Buntingford, on Monday morning last, the occasional being the marriage of Miss Lois Howard, youngest daughter of the late Mr and Mrs John Howard, and Mr Arthur Dray, both of Buntingford.

Both parties are well known and respected in the town, and are ardent workers for the Congregational Church.

The bridegroom served in France for four years during the war, and was in most of the engagement in which the 2nd Bedford Regiment took part.

The ceremony on Monday was conducted by the Revd. John Cole, and the hymn sung was "O welcome was the call." Mr H. Cutts presided at the organ.

The bride looked well in a grey coat frock with hat and fur to match, and carried a sheaf of arum lillies. She was given away by Mr Henry Howard, her brother. The duties of best man were ably discharged by Mr Albert Dray, brother of the bridegroom.

The wedding breakfast was held at the bride's home, and some 20 to 30 guests were present.

Mr and Mrs Dray were the happy recipients of 80 useful presents.
