Pity the Groom! l!

Asserting that marriage is most solemn occasion and "no time for horseplay," Rev. Joseph F. McCuen of St. Bridget's Church, in Elm wood, requested from the pulpit that members of the parish re- frain from throwing rice or con- fetti during wedding ceremonies in the future. He stated that this was pagan custom, and that such levity was not in keeping with the marriage ceremony.
 Father McCuen, formerly of Waterbury, mentioned that during a recent ceremony in another part of Connecticut one merrymaker did not have time to take the rice out of the bag and threw the whole bag. It struck the groom in the back, and required medical attention immediately.
