From The Warminster Herald, 18th July 1874:
“A rather novel way of proceeding to church, previous to being joined together in holy matrimony, has of late been introduced into Bratton, and is pretty common. The happy morning having arrived, the pair with their respective attendants, dressed in their ordinary or casual attire, proceed by different roads to church, where they meet and enter together. The sacred service having been gone through and the pair united, they come out of church and separate with their attendants, proceeding the same route as heretofore.”
