Wedding - Parkin & Linnitt

A good deal of interest was manifested yesterday in the wedding of Mr. G. H. Parkin, son of the Rev. M. E. Parkin, the respected pastor of the Congregational Church, with Miss Linnitt, daughter of Mr. T. W. C. Linnitt, of Higham-road, Rushden. The ceremony took place at the Congregational Church, the Revs. M. E. Parkin and T. G. Harper being the officiating ministers. Prior to the arrival of the wedding party, Mr. W. L. Sargent, the organist, played Blake's March. The bride, who leant on the arm of her father as she entered the church, was charmingly attired in a costume of white cashmere, trimmed with chiffon, and wore a bridal veil with wreath of orange blossoms. She carried a magnificent shower bouquet, composed of white roses, tuberoses, lily-of-the-valley, and encharis lilies. The bridesmaids were:—Miss Emily Maddock (Leicester), Miss Olave Parkin, and Miss Florrie (Garfirth (Wellingborough). Master Rennie Parkin attended as page dressed in black velvet. Miss Maddock's and Miss Parkin's dresses were of cream cashmere, trimmed with lace and ribbon, and their hats were of chiffon, trimmed with tips. Miss Garfirth wore a pink dress, and a white hat trimmed with ribbon and tips. The bridegroom's presents to the bridesmaids and page were:—Miss Maddock and Miss Parkin, gold rings; Miss Garfirth, gold locket with portraits of the bride and bridegroom; Master Parkin, watchchain. The bridesmaids' bouquets were of pink carnations, pink bouvardia, white roses and lily-of-the-valley, supplied by Messrs. Seckington and Son, who also provided the shower bouquet for the bride. The bride was given away by her father, and Mr. Harry Nunney, of Chesterfield, was best man. On the wedding party leaving the church, they were greeted with showers of confetti, and Mr. Sargent played Mendelssohn's Wedding March.
