The Diary of Mary Ann Denham

Christmas Day

Mr. Moore and Miss Ann Pittis was married at Wootton Church. Julia was bridesmaid she breakfasted at Mr. Pittis at about 7 o’clock, they left Wootton at about 8 o’clock and proceeded to church after the ceremony was concluded – they went to Shanklin. It was lovely weather. They returned about 1/2 past 4 o’clock. Dined about 5 o’clock.

In the evening Mr J Alford called in – about 8 o’clock Mr. G. C. Miss Brading and Miss Ann Cooper called to see us, they left about 1/4 to 10 o’clock. I went part of the way home with them it was a glorious moonlight night. When I returned I found Julia had arrived also Mr Pittis and Mr and Mrs Moore and Mr James Pittis so that we had for a short time quite a merry little party, they left about 11 o’clock.
