About half-past eleven o’clock, the bride, attired, in a rich dress of white silk trimmed with tulle and lace, and wearing a wreath of orange blossoms and tulle veil, entered the church, leaning on the arm of Mr. Humphrey, and immediately the choir commenced to sing hymn 212 “Hymns Ancient and Modern,” Mrs. Edward Slade ably presided over the harmonium. Eight bridesmaids;- the Misses Emma, Alice, Louisa, and Caroline Thomason (sisters of the bride), Misses Kate and Nellie Whiting (sisters of the bridegroom), Miss Hannah Thomason and Miss Checkley, - wore dresses of white greuidine trimmed with cerise bows and sashes, and were attended by the same number of groomsmen.

The ceremony was performed by the Rev. M. A. Nicholson; at the conclusion of which and after the signing of the register the bells struck up a merry peal, which they continued at intervals during the day.

A triumphal arch was erected over the gates leading from the main road, surmounted by the following motto:- “God Bless the Wedded Pair.”

About one o’clock, upwards of fifty guests sat down to an excellent dojeuner in a marquee adjoining the residence of the bride’s parents, the decorations of which displayed great taste. Mottoes were conspicuously placed in suitable positions; “let us keep the Peace being above the seats of the bride and bridegroom, and opposite “Welcome,” while over the entrances were “May they be happy” and “Health and Prosperity.” The health of the bride and bridegroom was proposed by the Rev. M. A. Nicholson, and enthusiastically drunk, and was responded to by the bridegroom in a neat and appropriate little speech.

At a quarter to three the happy couple left amidst a shower of rice and a few old shoes for Wolverton en route for Brighton, where they will spend the honeymoon.

In the evening a ball was given to upwards of 100 guests. The room appropriated for the dance was an upper storey of a large barn, which had been admirably converted, under skilful hands, into a very pretty ball room. Festoons of evergreens and flowers, mottoes and various devices were placed round the walls, which were hung with coloured strips of paper, adding much to the effect. Dancing commenced about nine, and was kept up with considerable animation until after five o’clock. An excellent programme was rendered in a masterly style by Messrs. Glidewell and Pinfold and Miss. Glidewell.

The carriage arrangements for the day were entrusted to Mr. Hawley, of Stony Stratford, four flys with pairs and postillions being engaged.

The weather was very favourable, especially if the old adage “Happy is the bride that the sun shines on” is considered, as there was no lack of sunshine.

The festivities were resumed on Wednesday, and on Thursday the men engaged upon the farm were provided with a capital dinner.
