dean, canons and choir, the latter com
prising A boys and % men. Then
came the bride on the kings arm, fol-
lowed by the bridesmaids, the ladies'
in-waiting and kings suite.
1t was about 1880 when the solemn
service, performed by the archbishop
OF Canterbury assisted by the arch
bishop of York and the dean of pre-
centor of the abbey, began.
The 9th Psalm was chanted and the
anthem Beloved, Let Us Love One
Another" was sung during the service.
During the ceremony the bride carried
an exquisitely bound pink service book,
a gift from the queen.
The ceremony ended, the archbishop
of Canterbury addressed the couple,
saying in part:
1T seems probable that no daughter
Of reigning king was ever until today
married in the abbey Certainly no
marriage ever occurred here under con-
ditions quite like yours. The war time
partly created them.
Each of you in the grim war years
found new opportunities and used
them. When the fibre Of British man
hood was being tested day by day in
the shell-swept trench and on bare
hillside, you, my brother, did much
more than stand the test.
ITO you, my child, the war days of
your girlhood brought occasion for
glad service. Experiences, however
simple, in hospital ward can give an
abiding stimulus to one who cares. In
that effort, as also in the leadership
of disciplined English girlhood, you
have gained thought and knowledge
which you will now contribute to Sc
curing the strength, orderliness and
sunshine of great English home
Together you will set yourselves to
this. Happiness in home life, even
when it is blessed like yours with high
traditions is not matter of course.
1t has it's roots in a mutual love which
is tender and thoughtful in resource,
unselfish in devotion, but brave and
unreserved in its honesty of mutual
counsel. So you may together go from
strength to strength"
The bride and bridegroom then
passed to Edward the Confessor chapel
where two registers were signed-one
known as the royal register, in which
the entry of today's ceremony occupied
six pages, and the other the abbey
register which is signed alike by roy
atty and subjects. Mary used a gold
quill pen, one of her wedding gifts.
The signing completed, the bridal
march from Romeo and Juliet" and
Mendelssohn's Wedding March were
played. The bride and bridegroom
stepped down the abbey to the west
door, preceded by the choir and clergy
and followed by the bridesmaids. The
clergy moved off to the Jerusalem
chamber as cheers, re-awakened by the
appearance Of the united couple in the
doorway, I reverberated through the
edifice.
The king and queen and other mem
bers of the royal family moved towards
the door and the new viscountess and
her husband began their triumphal re-
turn through the throngs, using this
time the carriage in which Queen Mary
went to the abbey. The route was
varied to give other crowds an oppor-
tunity to see the couple.
The king and queen in the state
coach and other. royal personages
quickly followed and the wedding
breakfast was served there to a com
pany of about ITO persons including
the royal family and relatives and
closest friends. A feature of this was
the cutting of gigantic 5O0-pound
wedding cake, made in five tiers, stand
ing nearly Z feet in height, the ingre-
dents of which were sent especially
from the various parts of the British
Empire.
As Mary passed the cenotaph in
Whitehall on the return from West
minister Abbey, she handed out bou-
quet which sergeant-major placed on
the cenotaph as tribute to Great
Britain's dead in the war.
After their return to Buckingham
Palace, Princess Mary and her husband
appeared on the balcony over the CEN
trail arch of the palace while the crowd
there cheered. AS they smilingly ack-
nowledged the demonstration, the
couple were joined by King George and
Queen Mary and Queen Mother Alexan-
dra upon which the cheering broke out
afresh.
Princess Mary's honeymoon special"
left London with the bride and groom
for Shifnal, Shropshire, at 4 o'clock
this afternoon. At the residence Of
the Earl of Bradford the couple will
spend the first part of their honey
moon.
