There was a big gathering at the Old Baptist Chapel, Rushden, on Monday last, when the Rev. W. J. Tomkins, until recently the pastor of the church, united in marriage Miss Willmott (daughter of Mr. George Willmott, fruiterer, Rushden), and Mr. Ernest William Lack. The wedding was a very pretty one. The bride was charmingly attired in a dress of cream cashmere, trimmed with lace, and wore a white hat, with white plume and spray of orange blossom. She carried a beautiful shower bouquet (supplied by Mr. F. Betts, florist) and was attended by the following young ladies as bridesmaids:— Miss Nellie Willmott (sister), Miss Lizzie Willmott, Miss Hillson, and Miss Bessie Partridge (cousins), Miss Lizzie Lack and Miss Emma Lack (sisters of the bridegroom). Miss Lizzie Willmott and Miss Hillson wore blue-grey dresses, trimmed with lace and silk, and their white hats were trimmed with white plumes, Miss Nellie Willmott and Miss Lizzie Lack wore dresses of grey shot figured alpaca, trimmed with lace, and white hats trimmed with white plumes. Miss Emma Lack and Miss Bessie Partridge (little girls) were prettily dressed in blue-grey. The bride was given away by her father, and Mr. Herbert Lack was best man. Messrs. John Willmott and George Willmott (brothers of the bride) were also present.
