A Limerick Lace Train: The bride, who was given away by her father, was attired in white satin with a train of old Limerick lace, and carried a bouquet of white orchids, lilies of the valley, and myrtle. Her chief attendants were the Hon. Elizabeth Blades and the Hon. Janet Blades (her sisters), Lady Norah Jellicoe, Miss Christina Lyall and Miss Susan Baxter. Miss Philippa Hardie (her cousin), Miss Eileen Carritt, Miss Prudence Rowley and Miss Diana Davidson (daughter of Sir Nigel and Lady Davidson) wore four younger bridesmaids, and Master James Pinsent (cousin of the bride) was a page in Highland dress. The bridesmaids were dressed in peach coloured chiffon with brown velvet capes and sashes and carried wreaths of brown and yellow flown. The bridesmaids’ diamond paste clips were the gifts of the bridegroom. The best man was Mr. O. E. P. Wyatt. M.C. (brother of the bridegroom), and the ushers were the Hon. R. R. Blades, the Hon. D. Brodrick, Captain Massy, Captain F. Stobart, Captain Oliver Thynne, Captain P. T. Chevallier, D.S.O., M.C., Captain F. Drummond, M.C., and Commander Clive Pinsent, R.N. The Bishop of Chichester performed the ceremony, assisted by Bishop Golding-Bird, and the Rev. R. A. Waddilove. The hymns “Lead us Heavenly Father,” “O Perfect Love,” and “Praise my soul, the King of Heaven,” were sung during the service. The honeymoon is being spent in Italy. The bride’s travelling dress was of periwinkle blue silk with a coat to match, and a blue fox fur. On their return Lieutenant Colonel and the Hon. Mrs. Wyatt will take up their residence in Findon, at the house formerly known as Holmbush.
