The marriage of Captain Willoughby, late 60th Rifles, of Warwick-square, London, and Miss Pynsent, eldest daughter of Mr. T. Pynsent, of Hillsborough, North Devon, was celebrated in London at St. Gabriel’s, Warwick-square, on Thursday, in the presence of a large circle of relations and friends. The service was full choral, the officiating clergymen being the Rev. Brymer Belcher (the rector), Rev. Arthur Willoughby, and Rev. W. Langhorne. The bride was given away by her father. Her costume was rich white silk, handsomely trimmed with Moulton lace and bouquets of orange blossom and jessamine, with wreath and veil to correspond. The nine bridesmaids were Miss Florence Pynsent, Miss Augusta Pynsent (sisters of the bride), Miss Louisa Bragge, Miss Lucy Bragge, Miss Sparrow, Miss Serena Sparrow, Miss Constance Sparrow (cousins of the bride), and two Miss Willoughbys (nieces of the bridegroom). They wore white muslin dresses trimmed with pale blue ribbon and Valenciennes lace, and blue bonnets, and handsome monogram lockets, the gift of the bride. They were also presented with bouquets by the bridegroom. After the ceremony the party returned to 66, Gloucester-street, where about 50 guests sat down to luncheon, and shortly after Captain and Mrs. Willoughby started on their tour, followed by the good wishes of all their friends.
