From the ‘Reading Standard’ (not the 'Mercury'!), 16 June 1917:

A very pretty wedding was solemnised in the Parish Church on June 4^th, the contracting parties being Miss "Dolly" Powell, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Powell, The Lodge, Arborfield Hall, and Ernest G. A. Finch, son of the late Mr. H. B. Finch, of St. Cross, Winchester, and Mrs. Budd, 7, Canute Road, Highcliff, Winchester.

(The Lodge, Arborfield Hall, from the Collier Collection)

The bride was simply attired in a robe of silk embroidered voile with a wreath and veil lent by the bride’s sister, Mrs. L. Slade. She was attended by two bridesmaids – Miss M. Middleton (friend) and Miss Marjorie Finch (niece of the bridegroom). They wore dresses of flowered voile and mob caps to match. Miss Powell was in attendance on the bride at the church. A reception was given by Mrs. Hargreaves (The Hall) at which there were about 38 guests, the reading room being lent for the occasion.
