LITTON CHENEY.

MARRIAGE OF THR MF.CTOR.—The streets of Tiverton
have seldom been enlivened by a wedding which excited
more general interest than that which was celebrated in
the parish church on the lith inst. The marriage of a lady
whose father is so widely esteemed and respected as the
Rector of Tidcombe. and wh has herself so large a circle
of friends among all classes as Miss Bedew, awakened no
ordinary interest. The large and beautiful parish church
was entirely filled. There was considerable anxiety lest
rain should fall on the bridal procession, but just at the
right moment the sun came out to shine on the bride, and
with few intervals the weather continued fine. At a
quarter past eleven the bride entered the church, leaning
on her father's arm, and followed fry her bridesmaids, her
four sisters, and her cousins, Miss Aylmer and Miss
Goldie. The bridegroom. the Rev. F. T. Colby, 8.D.,
an
F.S.A., Fellow of Exeter College, d Rector of Litton
Cheney, was attended by the Rev. W. W. Jackson, Fellow
of Exeter College, as his best man. The service was
performed by the Rev. J. L Hadow and the Rev. K L.
Colby. brothers of the bride and bridegroom. The Rev. J.
Lightfoot, DI)., Rector of Exeter College, was to have
taken part in the ceremony, but was unfortunately pre-
vented by illness from attending. The bride wore a dress
of white poult de soie, trimmed with satin and tulle; and
the bridesmaids were dressed in white grenadine with
bodices of ruby and salmon-coloured elk, and hate of •
similar colour. The bright hues of these dresses so appro-
priate to the season of the year, added greatly to the
beauty of the procession. As soon as the ceremony was
over the marriage party left the church, while the
Weddiwgi March was Played, and returned to Tidcombe,
where about 40 person were hospitably entertained at
breakfast. The wedding party, which was confined to
the family and the clergy of the town, comprised—General
and Mrs. Aylmer, Col. and Mrs. Aylmer. Mr. and Mrs.
Goldie. the Rev. Lovell and Mrs. !Wow, the Rev. It, and

the sincere good wishes of all present, and of many
both in the neighbourhood and at a distance. The wedding
presents were both numerous and handsome.
