The ceremony was performed after the ritual
Of the Episcopal Church, none OF the tedious
details of which Wore omitted. The response
Of the bridegroom were given In Il bold and
distinct manner while those of the bride eX-
hibited i degree of nervousness and tmIdity
which led her friends to apprehend that She
through. The scene after the conclusion OF
the ceremony is thus described
Hardly had the last words of the chorus lied
away in solemn echoes, when the ceremonial as
arranged by chamberlains and heralds, ended,
and the bride giving vent to her evidently long
pent up feelings turned and flung herself upon
her mot hers bosom with a suddeness and
depth OF feeling that thrilled through every
heart Again and again her Majesty strained
her to her heart aud kissed her, and tried To
conceal her emotion, but 1t was needless and III
vain, for all perceived il, aBd there were few
who did not share il. We need not mention
ow the bridegroom embraced her, and how as
she quilted him, with the tears now plainly
stealing down her checks. she threw herself IN
/ the arms OF her father, while her royal husband
was embraced by the Princess ct Prussia in n
manner that evinced all that only a mother :
love can show. The most etfectIug recognition
however, took place between the bridegroom
and his royal father, for the latter seemed over
powered with emotion, and the former after
claspinG him twice 10 bis breast, knelt and kis-
his parents hand.
The Queen then rose, and hurrving across the
hdtt pas with the Prince ConsUrt, embrased the
Princess of Prussia As one sister would another
after long parting and turning to the Prince of
Prussia gave him her hand, which a~ he stopped
to kiss she stopped him aud declined the coudc-
-ceuSion by OFFERING her cheek instead. But
words viii feebIy convey the effect of the
warmth, the abandonment OF affection and
and friendship with which the bridegroom sa-
luted Her Majesty, the manly hcartiness with
which he wrung the Prince CunSort's hand for
by the working of his face it was evident he
could not trust his tongue to speak
