MARRIAGE

H.R.H. THE PRINCE OF WALES

WITH

THE PRINCESS ALEXANDRA,

AT WINDSOR CASTLE,

THIS DAY, TUESDAY, 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 Princo 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
fre w, and Lord of the Isles, Great Steward of Scot-
land, Knight of the Most Noble Ordecof 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
burg.

Although the marriage cermonial 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 last the arrangements
have been carried out with the utmost precision and
nicety, in all their superband some of them elaborate
details according to the very letter of the programme.
Throughout the whole of them, from their very com-
mence:nent 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 rninster, and parish
church, always to the flutter of flag; often to the
baotti of artillery.

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 wore 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 :he ch.pel 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 door way 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
itstance.
