FASHIONABLE WEDDING AT WHITEHAVEN
On Wednesday, the marriage of Mr. Charles Liddell WAUGH, of Pontycymmere,
South Wales, second son of Mr. Edward Waugh, M. P., of The Burrows, Papcastle,
Cockermouth, and Ada Mary, only daughter of Mr. I’ANSON, M. D., Whitehaven,
was solemnised at St. Nicholas Church, Whitehaven. The church was crowded. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. T. POLLOCK, B. A., vicar of Brigham,
assisted by the Rev. C. B. S. GELLINGS, B. A., Vicar of St. Nicholas,
Whitehaven, and the Rev. Canon DALTON, B. D., vicar of Holy Trinity Church,
Whitehaven.
The bride was given away by her father, whilst Mr. E. L. WAUGH, brother to
the bridegroom, acted as best man. The bride’s dress was composed of white
satin and brocade, with a long tulle veil fastened with pearl pins, the gift of
her aunt, Miss. I’ANSON. The bride also wore a pearl and diamond broosh, the
gift of the bridegroom, and was attended by the following ladies as her
bridesmaids:
Miss. G. E. HELSOP, Church Oakley
Miss. Alice WAUGH, sister of the bridegroom

Each of the bridesmaids wore apricot muslin and lace dresses trimmed with
ruby velvet, ruby velvet trencher hats and brocaded satin fans, the gift of
the bridegroom.
During the service which was choral, the choir sang, “The voice which
breathed o’er Eden,” and “The church’s one foundation.” At the conclusion of the
service Canon DALTON addressed a few admonitory and congratulatory words to
the newly married pair.
The “Wedding March” was played by Mr. IRELAND as the party left the
church, and flowers were scattered in the path of the bride by six of the scholars
