Eden – Pinsent: ON the 23rd Ult. At Bintree Church, the marriage took place of Mr. William Annesley Eden, of Foulsham, son of the Hon. Robert H. Shaw Eden, with Mabel, the daughter of the late Sir Robert Pinsent, D.C.L., Judge of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland. The bride (who was given away by the Rev. Canon Norgate on behalf of her mother, Lady Pinsent) wore a dress of ivory white satin, with lace fichu fastened with orange blossoms, and a Court train. Her tulle veil was attached by an aigrette of orange blossoms; she carried a shower bouquet, and wore a pearl bracelet, the gifts of the bridegroom. She was attended by her little sister, Miss Beatrice Pinsent, as bridesmaid, dressed in white serge, with a pale blue silk sash, wearing a large white felt hat, with blue and white ribbons and an ostrich feather and carrying a basket of pink and white flowers. Two pages were in attendance, Master Guy Pinsent, brother of the bride, and Master Rob Hamond, youngest son of Charles Hamond, Esq., of Twyford Hall. The bridegroom presented each page with a silver whistle, and to the bridesmaid gave a gold bracelet with double hearts of pearls. Mr. Baron Brooke attended the bridegroom as best man. The officiating clergy were the Rev. J. L. Bennett, curate of Bintree, and the Rev. J. N. Spurgeon, rector of Twyford. After the ceremony, Mrs. Rackham, grandmother of the bride, entertained at the rectory, only a small number of friends and relatives, on account of the serious illness of the Rev. R. R. Rackham. Later in the afternoon the newly married pair took their departure for London. The bride went away in a travelling dress of olive-green habit cloth, braided, and trimmed with dark fur, with cape and hat en suite.
