Twyford. - On Thursday the wedding of Mr. G. W. Palmer, of Greenwood, with Miss Dorothea Gladwyn Wickham, daughter of the Rev. L. Wickham, was celebrated at the Parish Church at 11.30. By the great kindness of the people of Twyford the church had been beautifully decorated with flowers for the occasion, and the road through the village was bright with flags and evergreens, The principal part of the service was performed by the Rev. T. V. Wickham (Vicar of Rossett, Denbighshire, uncle of the bride), assisted by the Rev. A. G. N. Lampen (of Twyford School), the Rev. R. Bristow (Vicar of Twyford), and the Rev. R. Ferguson (Rector of Durley). The bride was conducted to the altar by her father, and was accompanied by six bridesmaids: Miss S. H. L. Wickham (her sister). Miss M. Hughes (her cousin), Miss M. Hughes (her cousin), Miss Hudleston and Miss M. Hudleston (nieces of the bridegroom), Miss E. Morshead, and Miss L. Forest. The church and churchyard were crowded with friends and neighbours. After the ceremony, the wedding party returned to the house, where rather more than 100 sat down to breakfast. The bride and bridegroom started for Swanage about a quarter past three o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Wickham then received a large party of friends to see the presents and play lawn tennis. The presents were very numerons, and among them must specially be noticed the beautiful gold watch presented by the inhabitants of Twyford, and the gifts from the Twyford Branch of the Hampshire Friendly Society and the village Cricket Club. It would be invidious to name more where so very much goodwill and kind feeling was shown towards Mr. and Mrs. Wickham as well as to the bride and bridegroom. On Friday, everyone in Twyford who could not be received on Thursday, was invited to tea at four o'clock. A very large number accepted the invitation.
