  Nottingham, England --- (AP) --- Dominick Casciari, 22, former parachute trooper who made a private air borne invasion of Nottingham last month to keep his promise "to come back after the war," Saturday married Miss Rita Blankley.  She is the girl he left behind.
   The veteran from New Canaan, Conn., shook noticeably in the ceremony at the altar in the Catholic chapel of Nottingham.  He admitted he was "very nervous."
          "Let's Get Cracking"
   Her father, who refused to consent to he wedding when Casciari was stationed in England, grinned and said: "Come on.  let's get cracking and get this over with."
   Casciari flew here from the United states a month after his discharge from the Army, bearing a wedding ring and two air line tickets for home.
   The couple will spend a few days in London and will leave for the United States as soon as Rita can get her passport.
   The bride, who describes herself as "almost 18", and that in addition to her clothing and wedding present including "a lot of Nottingham lace," she would take wither her as a remembrance of home two small porcelain dogs "I've had since I was a child."
        Answers GI Brides
   Rita has had dozens of letters, she says, from GI brides and soldiers both in England and the United States asking how they can get together as Rita and "Dom" did.
   "I answered them all out of courtesy, but I couldn't tell them anything," she said.  "Dom just came, that's all."
   The little chapel was packed with spectators and several hundred others stood outside its doors and circled the bride's home to glimpse her and the "Connecticut Yankee" bridegroom.
