Lenise, Lord Percy and Lord Ronald
Cover occupying the same relative
positions to the Marquis of Lorne.
While the wedding march was still be-
ing played, Lord Sydney distributed
marriage service richly bound in GRIM
son velvet. Then the service began,
the two psalms being admirably chant
cd by the choir to double Chant by
Elvey.
During the ceremony, happy omen!
the sun shone brightly through the
glories mp upon the brides party. The
service was read by the Bishop of
London, in not too distinct voice.
As for the question. "Wit thon have
this woman to be thy welded wife ?"
and the interesting questions and res
ponses which follow, not one word said
10y either bride or bridegroom could DO
heard at the end of the choir, aud as
the silence at the time was almost pain
full, it may be easily snrmised that both
the Princess and the Marquis mnst
have spoken in the faint whispers COM
mon to those who thus plight their
troth. TO the Bishops question, "who
giveth this woman to be married to
this man9" the Queen replied By ges-
ture, and the Bishop then joined their
hands. The declaration which each
repeats, II, Princess Lonisc, take thee,
John Douglas Sutherland, Marquis of
Lorne," was as inaudablc as all that
had gone before. When the ring was
put on the bells pealed, the guns fred,
and gave notice to the world without
I that the ceremony had been happily
celebrated. The Bishop of Wincies-
ter read the short address to the new
Y Unmarried couple, setting forth tho
n duties of man and wife, and his clear,
f distinct voice was heard with fine eff
= feet in every part of the choir. Before
It the blessing chorus by Beethoven
q was sung by the choir. Then the GER
Il emory beng ended, the Queen gave
her daughter loving kiss, and tho
! bridegroom, bending low, kissed her
Majesty's hands. The organ again
pealcd forth march from Handel, and
: then the bride took her husbands arm
aud walked with bright and happy
:, face out of the church; the professions
otherwise following in the same order
y in which they had entered. The Duke
:. and Duchess of Argyll remained for
: some moments on the haut pas receiv-
. ing the congratulations of their friends.
y The lockets presented to the brids-
:, maids and worn by them at the cetc-
mony were chosen by the bride and
