Notes:	The Gloucester Journal Saturday 30th June 1894 Page 5 FASHIONABLE MARRIAGES. SHELTON - DARBY, At the Abbey Church, Bath, on Wednesday, the marriage was celebrated of Mr. Frederick William Shelton Shelton, elder son of Captain F. Shelton, of Prestbury, Gloucestershire, and grandson of the late Venerable Archdeacon Timbrel!, D.D., and Miss Edith Elizabeth Barrow Darby, younger daughter of the late Rev. G. W. Darby, M.A., rector of North Wingfield, Derbyshire, formerly of Fersfield, Norfolk, and grand-daughter of the late Rev. James Barrow, Fellow of St. John’s College, Cambridge, rector of North Wingfield, and formerly of North and South Lopham, Norfolk. The service, which was fully choral, commenced at two o’clock, the officiating clergy being the Rev. Norman Shelton, rector of Taynton, brother of the bridegroom, and the Rev. B. Norton Thompson, incumbent of Christ Church, Bath. While the guests were assembling Mr. A. E. New, the organist, played “The March of the Priests,” and the hymn “O God, our help in ages past,” was sung as a processional, the clergy and choir meeting the bridal procession at the west door of the Abbey. The bride, who was given away by her eldest brother, Mr. George Barrow Darby, wore a handsome dress of white Oriental Tadmar satin, train, skirt, and bodice all in one, draped with real Venetian lace from the left shoulder, and falling nearly to the edge of the skirt in front; the lace was caught up at the waist with orange blossom, and fell to the end of the train. The sleeves of the dress were full to the elbow with frills of the lace, and the prettily drawn bodice had lace round the throat and epaulettes of orange blossoms; the bride also wore a long silk tulle veil and a wreath of orange blossoms, her only ornaments being a very old gold cross and gold chains. The bride was attended by five little bridemaidens - Miss Marian L. B. Darby, Miss Muriel Shelton, Miss Nellie and Miss Enid Adams, and Miss B. Rogers. They were all dressed as little Roman flower girls, in white crepon frocks, loose hanging sleeves, with tight under-sleeves of yellow silk, yellow silk sashes, gold ribbons of different widths tracing the edges of the frocks, sleeves, and necks, white shoes and stockings crossed with gold up the legs. Flat round Oriental baskets were slung over their shoulders with gold ribbon, and held by one hand under the arm. The baskets were filled with crimson and other roses. Their Roman headdresses were of yellow and white gossamer edged with gold, and each wore a gold Indian bangle, the gift of the bridegroom. The Rev. A. H. Pattrick, Minor Canon of Christ Church, Oxford, accompanied the bridegroom as best man. During the service the hymn “Now thank we all our God” was sung and the ceremony concluded with the Wedding March. The chancel was tastefully embellished by plants. After the wedding the bridal party and guests returned to the Grand Pump Room Hotel, where a reception was held. Bells rang merrily at the Abbey, and also at North Wingfield, Derbyshire, and at Fersfield, Norfolk, the villagers were entertained at tea and supper given by the bride. Amongst the presents were a silver fruit or butter dish, with name and date engraved, from the cottagers of Fersfield, and a Crown Derby tea set from the parishioners of North Wingfield, both being greatly valued by the bride as coming from her old homes. During the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Shelton left Bath for London en route for Italy and Switzerland, where the honeymoon will be passed. The bride’s going away dress was of powdered blue crepon, crossed with black watered ribbon at the back and coming over the shoulders, and full gathered bodice; she wore a small fancy straw hat trimmed with black velvet and pink roses.
