Northaw: Marriage of Mr. Pynsent and Miss Addie: At Northaw Church on Tuesday the marriage was solemnised of R. B. Pynsent, of Ashley Gardens, London, and Miss Addie, only daughter of Mrs. Addie of View Park, Huddingston, Lanarkshire. Specially interest attached to the wedding locally, as the bride is the niece of Mrs. Kidston, of Nyn Park, a lady who is loved and respected in every home in Northaw. Many friends the bride and bridegroom in London and Scotland were present in church, and there was large attendance of villagers, who made a point of attending the ceremony as a special compliment to Mrs. Kidston. The chancel and altar, also the pulpit and lectern, had been beautifully decorated with choice flowers by the head gardener at Nyn Park. The bride, a charming young lady, was met at the church door by the choir, and as she passed up the aisle festal music was played by the organist. The service, which was choral, was conducted the Vicar (the Rev. E. B. B. Kitson), assisted by the curate. The “Voice that breathed o’er Eden” was one of the hymns sung by the choir. At the conclusion of the service, and as the bridal party were leaving the church, the organist played Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March.” The bride was given away by her uncle (Mr. L. P. Jardine), and the bridegroom’s brother acted as best man. The bridesmaids were two nieces of the bridegroom. The bride was handsomely gowned in white silk crepe de chine, with Brussels lace, tulle veil, and orange blossoms, and carried a bouquet of white roses. Her chief ornament was a beautiful necklace of diamonds and sapphires, the gift of Mrs. Kidston. The bridesmaids were attractively dressed in white silk with Valenciennes lace, and each carried a bouquet of sweet peas. After the ceremony there was reception at Nyn Park, when the toast to “The Bride and Bridegroom” was submitted by L. P. Jardine, and enthusiastically honoured. The happy couple left in the afternoon for the honeymoon, which is be spent abroad. In honour of the interesting event the employees the Nyn Park Estate, with their wives, were entertained at an excellent tea on Wednesday by Mrs. Kinston. The health of the Bride and Bridegroom” was proposed by the butler (Mr. Lane), and the company received the sentiment enthusiastically.
