MARRIAGE

H.R.H. THE PRINCE OF WALES

WITH

THE PRINCESS ALEXANDRA,

AT WINPSOR CASTLE,

THIS DAY, TUESDAYt 10Th MARCH, 1863.
. -

Precisely at half-past twelve of the clock upon
the forenoon of this now historical Tuesday
the 10th of March, 1863, there was commenced
and has since been solemnised in St. George's
Chapel at Windsor Castle, the marriage of
the most high, mighty, and puissant Prince the
Heir Apparent to the Crown of England ! The
marriage of his Royal highness Albert Edward,
Prince of Wales, Duke of Saxony, Prince of Saxe
Coburg and Gotha, Duke of Cornwall and Rothsay,
Earl of Chester, Carrick, and Dublin, Baron of Ren-
frew, and Lord of the Isles, Great Steward of Scot-
land, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter—
[other titles and dignities of his Royal Highness are
enumerated elsewhere more conspicuously in another
part of our extraordinary impression of to-day]—
with her Royal Highness the beautiful young
Princess Alexandra Caroline Maria Charlotte Louisa
Julia, eldest daughter of their Royal Highnesses the
Prince and Princess Christian of Denmark, formerly
Princess of Sleswig-Holstein Sonderburg Gliicks-
burg.
Although tho marriage ceremonial has but just
now been completed with all royal magnificence, we
are already enabled to speak of it as of an incident
of the Past, as of an event actually and most happily
accomplished. Already we can say of it and with
truth, that from first to lust the arrangements
have been carried out with the utmost precision and
nicety, in all their superb and some of them elaborate
details according to the very letter of the programme.
Throughout the whole of them, from their very com-
mencement down to their very close, all went (liter.
ally) " merry as a marriage bell !" As merry as all
the marriage bells that, have pealed this livelong day'
—in sympathy—from belfries all over the land, from
village steeple and ivy-mantled tower, and stately
cathedral, from abbey, and minster, and parish
ch, always to the flutter. of flags, often to the
cbhouormOf artillery.

ST. GEORGE'S CHAPEL.
ET.actly at the appointed time, namely at but a
very few moments before the actual commencement
of the eon) menial; by the stately traiiisg in of the

THE QUEEN
—having proceeded privately from the inner apart-
ments of the Castle—was ushered into the quaint
old Royal Closet, or Hinging Gallery, in Saint
George's Chapel, by the Lord Chamberlain I. This
beautiful old G.)thio, Royal Pew or Closet, it should
be mentioned, is the one built in the time of Kieg
Henry VII., is shaped somewhat like a Bay
Window with Royal escocheons adorning its
exterior, and was recognisable with interest from
the first this forenoon at a height of seve-
ral feet from the floor of St. George's Chapel, to the
left hand of the gorgeous congregation as it stood
there fronting the Communion Table. Into this
Royal Closet—suspended, as it were, in mid-air
upon the ancient wall—entered at this supreme mo-
ment of expectation-7.th° revered and august
Monarch of these realms, our widowed Queen Vic-
toria, to-day regarded by her loyal people
specially and beyond all in the light of
::' The Beloved Mother of the Coming Bride-
groom. Her M.ajesty—inhered, as we have said,
tato the Royal Closet by the Lord Chamberlain,
as attended by a single Lord in Waiting, to wit,
ho Lord Methuen, by a solitary Lady of the Bed-
hamber, the Lady Churchill, and by one. only
oman of the Bedchamber, the Hon. Mrs. R Alert
ruce. Everyone who could (latch a glimpse of
er Majesty as seen there through the mullioned
windows of the Royal Closet, when viewed either
from the floor of the Chapel itself, or from
the oontiguous or confronting .galleries, must have
been equally gratified like ourselves to note that her
Majesty appeared to be in exuellent health, though

occasionally giving evidences of profound though
suppressed emotion in the nervous play of expres-
sion upon the royal lineaments.
The Ambassadors and other members of the
Corps Diplomatique invited to be present at the
august ceremony assembled in Wolsey's Chapel at
halt-past 11 o'clock, and occupied the gallery en the
north side of the Altar, to which they were con-
ducted by Colonel Charles Bagot and the Hon.
Spencer Lyttelton. The CAbinet Ministers invited
to the ceremony who did not proceed in carriages
from Windsor Castleinor took part in the proces-
sion, also assembled in Wolsoy's Chapel at half-past
11 o'clock. They were conducted by her Majesty's
Gentlemen Ushers to the seats reserved for them in
the choir and in the gallery on the south side of
the Altar.
Her Royal Highness the Princess Christian of
Denmark rand the other .foreign Princes and Prin-

maids standing behind her Royal Highness, and the Lord
Chamberlain and Vice-Chamberlain near.
The Princess's wedding dress consisted of a petticoat of
pearl-white silk, embroidered with the rose, thistle, and
shamrock, trimmed with four rows of silver lace round the
bottom, robing up the centre, over which was suspended
a train of crimson velvet, magnificently embroidered with
the same designs in silver as the petticoat. The bodice
and sleeves were composed of the same costly material,
and she looked the impersonification of dignity, gentleness,
and love as she advanced up the aisle to the altar. The
appearance of the chapel at this moment was extremely ani-
mated and interesting. The pursuivants, heralds, pages, and
other attendants, all of whom wore wedding favours, occu-
pied the lower part of the aisle, while the back ground of the
picture, a doorway was filled up by officers of the guard on
duty, who were grouped in a compact body, as far as the
eye could reach, till their waving plumes were lost in the
distance.
THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY.
When the Bride had taken her place a Chorale was
sung, and the service commenced.
_ _ _

Ilia Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord
Bishop of London, Dean of her Majesty's Chapels Royal,
the Lord Bishop of Oxford, Chancellor of the Order of the
Garter, Lord High Almoner and Bishop of the Diocese, the
Lord Bishop of Winchester, Prelate of the Order of the
Garter, the Lord Bishop of Chester, Clerk of the Closet,
and the Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean of Windsor, Regis-
trar of the Order of the Garter and Resident Chaplain to her
Majesty, with the Canons and Minor Canons of Windsor,
standing within tL Altar.
The Archbishop of Canterbury having advanced to the
rails, the Prince of Wales and the Princess Alexandra
approached him, and the marriage ceremony commenced,
The Archbishop saying--
"I require and charge you both, as ye will answer at the
dreadful day of judgment, when the secrets of all hearts
shall be disclosed, that if either of you know any impedi-
ment why ye may not be lawfully joined together in matri-
mony ye do now confess it. Fur be ye well assured that so
many as are coupled together otherwise than God's Word
loth allow aro not joined together by God, neither is their
matrimony lawful."
When his Grace came to the words—
" Albert Edward, wilt thou have this woman to thy
wedded wife, o live together after God's ordinance in the
holy estate of matrimony ? Wilt thou love her,comfort her,
honour, and keep h'r in sickness and in health; and for-
eaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye
both shall live ?"
His Royal Highness, in a firm tone, replied, " I will,"
And when he said—
"Alexandra, wilt thou have Albert Edward to thy wed-
ded husband, to live together after God's ordinance in the
holy estate of matrimony ? Wilt thou obey him, and serve
him, love, honour, and keep him in sickness and in health;
and, forsaking all other, keep ye only unto him so long as
ye both shall life?"
Her Royal Highness looked up affectionately in the
Prince of Wales's face, and replied, " I will."
The Archbishop then said—.
" Who givoth this woman to be married to this man ?"
His Res al Highness Prince Christian of Denmaik ad-
v mead, and taking the Princess of Wales's hand placed it.
in that of the Prince of Wales.
The service proceeded, his Royal Highness repeating
after the Archbishop—
" I, Albert, take thee Al xandra to my wedded wife, to
have and to hold, from this day forward, for better for
worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish, till death do us part, according to
GOd's holy ordinance ; and thereto I plight thee my troth,"
The Princess then repeated the words—
"l, Alexandra, take thee Albert Edward to my wedded
husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for
better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in
health, to love, cherish, and to obey, till death us do part,
according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I give thee
my troth,"
in a manner which plainly showed that the ceremony was
one in which her while heart was interested.
The Prince of Wales then phiced the ring on her finger,
repeating—
" With this ring I thee wed, with my body I thee wor-
ship, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow : In the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost. Amen."
The Archbishop then concluded the service as follows :
" 0 Eternal God, Creator and Preserver of all mankind,
Giver of all spiritual grace, the Author of everlasting life;
send thy blessing upon these thy servants, Albert Edward
and Alexandra, whom we bless in thy name; that, as Isaac
and Rebecca lived faithfully together, so these persons may
surely perform and keep the vow and covenant betwixt
them made (whereof this ring given and received is a token
and pledge), and may ever remain in perfect love and peace
together, and live according to thy laws ; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen,
"Those whom God hath joined together let no man put
asunder.
" Forasmuch as Albert Edward and Alexandra have con-
sented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the
same before God and this company, and thereto have given
and pledged their troth either t ) other, and have declared
the same by giving and receiving of a ring, and by joining
of hands ;.I pronounce that they be man and wife together.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost. Amen.
"Godthe Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost, bless
preserve, and keep you; the Lotd mercifully with his
favour look upon you; and so fill you with all spiritual
benediction and grace, that yo may so live together in this
life, that in the world to come ye may have life everlasting.
Amen.

" Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed bo thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in
heaven. Gave us this day our daily bread. And forgive us
our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespaza against us.
And lead us not into temptation ; but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
"NiN. 0 Lord, save thy servant, and thy handmaid;
" ANS. Who put their trust in thee.
"MIN, 0 Lord, semi them help from thy holy place;
" ANS. And evermore defend thorn.
"MIN. Be unto them a tower of strength,
" ANS. From the face of their enemy.
"bilN. 0 Lord, hear our prayer.
I "A_NS. And let our cry come unto thee,
" mtNosTEtt.

0 God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, bless
these thy servants, and sow the seed of eternal life in
their hearts; that whatsoever in thy holy Word they
shall profitably learn, they may in deed fulfil the same.
Look, 0 Lord mercifully upon them from heaven, and
bless them. And as thou didst sent thy blessing upon
Abraham and Sarah, to their great comfort, -so
vouchsafe to send thy blessing upon those thy
servants ; that they obeying thy will, and always
being in safety under thy protection, may abide in thy love
unto their lives' end; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen."

While the service WAS proceeding, the rrineess was ob-
