"Interesting Wedding"

On Wednesday last, Miss Annie Beatrice Comden daughter of our well-known townsman Mr Shem Comden was married at the George Street Congregational Church to Mr William Frederick Young of Lancing near Worthing. As Miss Comden is so well-known and very much respected amongst our Congregational friends, quite a large number of persons assembled to witness the interesting ceremony. The choir and organist also attended and led the hymns which were a very pleasing part of the service. The wedding was a quiet and unpretentious affair, the bride being attired in a grey dress which suited her admirably. She was attended by her sisters as bridesmaids and was given away by her father. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. C E Griffin, the pastor of the Wesleyan chapel. The large number of presents which the bride received testified the kindly feeling and affection entertained for her. Amongst these was a handsome marble clock, on which was a small silver plate bearing the inscription "to Miss A B Comden from the teachers of the Sunday School and Band of Hope". A useful bread trencher and knife were sent by the members of her Sunday School class. The church and congregation assembling at Elmfield where Miss Comden used to attend and play the organ also sent her a handsomely painted coal box. There were some 40 other presents from private friends. The wedding party left about 2, amidst showers of rice and many good wishes for their future happiness.
