Croysdale – Pinsent: A very pretty wedding was that of Mr. John Hawkshaw Croysdale, M.A., barrister-at law, son of Mr. J. Croysdale, of Westfield Chapel Allerton, Yorkshire, who was yesterday (Thursday) married in St. Peter’s Church, Southsea. to Miss Gwedolen Pinsent, eldest daughter of the late Mr. Charles Pinsent, of the Madras Port Trust and Portswood, Southampton, and of Mrs. Pinsent, of St. Andrew’s-road, Southsea. The floral decorations were charmingly arranged, and the officiating clergy were the Rev. J. Newton Soden, M.A., uncle of the bride, assisted by the Rev. Maurice Bailey, M.A. (vicar). The bride was attired in a graceful gown of rich ivory liberty satin, the trained skirt hanging full from the waist, and trimmed with true lovers’ knots in silver. The bodice was likewise lightly worked with silver, draped over an underbodice of gathered chiffon; her vein of fine tulle was secured to a tiar of orange blossom, and she carried a bouquet of beautiful white flowers. The bride was attended by five bridesmaids, two being children. The older ones were dressed in gowns of white Swiss muslin, belted and trimmed with the palest green satin, made with lace yoke. Their hats were of white crinoline wreathed with forget me nots and cache-peignes of green ribbon, and they carried bouquets of pink carnations and smilax; the children were simply frocked in white muslin and wore wreaths of for-get-me-nots. After the ceremony a reception was held by the bride’s mother at 34 St. Andrew’s Road and Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Croysdale left later for their honeymoon trip. The beautiful wedding cake was supplied by Mr. W. S Brewer, confectioner, Clarendon Road, Southsea.
