Evesham Bride, Aldington Groom
At St Peter’s Church, Bengeworth, on Wednesday last, Joyce, only daughter of Mrs and the late Mr A Heritage of 39 Deace Place, Evesham, was married to Peter, son of Mr & Mrs Sam Byrd of Rose Cottage, Aldington.
Given away by Mr S Parks, the bride wore a model gown of white figured net over taffeta, surmounted by a full length veil held in place by a coronet of pearls and sprays of gardinias. She carried a spray of pink roses.
In attendance were two bridesmaids, Miss Jill Heritage, bride’s cousin, and Miss Jean Nisbett, groom’s cousin, who wore dresses of white taffeta with tulle over-skirts, the ruched hems of which were held in place by small posies matching the baskets they carried of pink and blue larkspur. Mr F Heritage was best man.
The service was conducted by the Rev J Jellee and the organist was Mr G Jones. After a reception held at the Northwick Hotel, Mr & Mrs Byrd left for their honeymoon which is being spent in Weston-super-Mare. The bride travelled in a cherry red suit with black accessories. Among the many telegrams received was one from the groom’s eldest brother, Mr Morris Byrd, who is serving in Korea.
