Christian George Andrew Patrick
David.
The Dukes 81 will" was given
in bold, clear voice.
The vicar then asked:
Bessie Wallis, wilt thou have
this man to be thy welded hus-
band, to live together after
Gods ordinance in the holy
estate of matrimony? Wilt
thou obey, serve, love, honor
and keep him in sickness and
in health, and fOrsaking all
others, keep thee only unto him
so long as ye both shall live?"
Soft and low but clearly audible
to the assembled gathering came
the Duchess words:
81 will"
''WhO Giveth This Woman"
The vicar asked:
"WhO giveth this woman to
be married to this man."
Said Rogers in a staccato voice:
81 do"
The couple then recited after
the minister:
81 Edward, Bessie Wallis)
take thee to be my welded
husband, wife, to have and to
hold, from this day forward, for
better or for worse, richer or
poorer, in sickness and in health,
to love and cherish until death
do us part, according to Gods
holy ordinance, and thereto I
plight my tr0th."
It was while he spoke these
words that clearly saw a tear
in Edwards eye.
Hands Ring to Edward
The minister had placed their
right hands together as the
couple repeated the troth. When
they had loosed their hands, the
vicar handed the thin gold ring
to Edward, who placed it on her
finger as he repeated the minis
ter's words:
"With this ring I thee wed;
with my body 1 thee worship,
and with all my worldly goods
1 thee endow. In the name Of
the Father, the Son and the
Holy Ghost"
WALLIS VOICE BREAKS
Wallis voice broke more than
once during the service. The vicar
had to prompt her twice at the
point where she pledged her love
to the man who chose her before
throne and country.
At conclusion of the ceremony,
the couple knelt on white satin
cushions before the altar. Intoned
the Rev. Jardine:
'Let us pray. Oh, Eternal God,
creator and preServer Of all
mankind, giver of all spiritual
grace, author of everlasting life
send Thy blessing TO these Thy
servants, this man and this
woman.
"Whom God hath Joined to-
gether, let no man put asunder.
For inaSmuch as Edward AL.
bert Christian George Andrew
Patrick David and Bessie Wallis
have consented together in holy
WedlOck and witnessed the same
before God and this company
and thereto given and pledged
their troth either to the other
and declared the same by giving
and receiving a ring and joining
hands, I pronounce they be man
and wife together. In the name
Of the Father, the Son and the
Holy Ghost"
The vicar then impaired this
blessing:
"May God bless, preserve and
keep you, that you may have
life everlasting"
The assembled company Joined
in the Lords Prayer and then
came this exchange:
MiniSter-"Oh, Lord, save thy
servant and thy handmade"
COmpany-"WhO put their
trust in thee"
Minister-"Be unto them q
tower Of strength"
COmpany-"FrOm the face of
their enemy"
MiniSter-"Oh Lord, hear our
prayer"
COmpsny-"And let our cry
come unto thee"
The Duke and Duchess then
arose and to them the Rev. Jar
dine said:
almighty God. who at the
beginning did create the first
parents, Adam and Eve, sane
tify and Join together in mar.
riage and pour upon you the
riches Of His grace and Sanctity.
Bless you that We may please
him body and soul and live to-
