EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the unique and unforgettable wedding of Mr. H.C. Black and Miss C. Hoffmeister in 1909 at the picturesque St. Mary's Church in Oare, Devon. The charming village of Malmsmead, nestled on the breathtaking Exmoor moors, played host to this extraordinary event. The happy couple, both residents of Glenthorne, Devon, chose to break with tradition and exchange their vows in riding habit, adding an unusual and exciting twist to their special day. Following the ceremony, they joined the meet of the esteemed Devon and Somerset Staghounds, a local hunting society. As they make their way to the meet, banners above and on either side wish them well, adding to the festive atmosphere. The couple's daring choice of attire and the thrilling hunt scene create a striking contrast, making their wedding day truly one for the history books. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich history, customs, and traditions of Devon and Exmoor during the early 20th century. The image is reminiscent of the popular novel "Lorna Doone" by R.D. Blackmore, which features St. Mary's Church and the village of Malmsmead.
