Local Marriages.
ARNOLD - DENNIS
The marriage took place, by special licence, at the United Methodist Church on Saturday, of Private Harold Samuel Arnold, of the Isle of Wight Rifles, and Miss Nellie Beatrice Dennis, eldest daughter of Mrs. T. Dennis, of Ventnor. The wedding was a quiet one, owing to the recent death of the bride's father. The bride, who was attired in a white and grey costume, was given away by her brother, Bugler A.A.H. Dennis, and the bridesmaids were Miss Abbott, of Rowbrorough, and Miss Bessie Wheeler, cousin. Rifleman John Cook was best man. The ceremony, which was witnessed by several relatives and friends, was performed by the Rev. A.P. Sherwin, in the absence of the Rev. R.J. Pollard. It was quite a military wedding, and aroused much interest among the numerous friends of both parties. The wedding cake was supplied by Mr. Ralph White, and the bouquets by Mr. Gee.
