A bride who defied all conventions at her wedding in London recently was Miss Jean Alice Ockland, a. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ockland, of St. Janies * Court, and Norfolk, who was wedded to Mr, Edgar P. Wooleombe, of Kensington. The wedding took place at St. Martin's In-the-Fields Church. No flowers were used either to decorate the church or in the bridal bouquets. Orange trees alone stood at the chancel entrance. The bride had insisted on a shortened service, which allowed her to dispense with the words “and obey." Like a statue of beaten brass appeared the bride, clad in gold, her gown cloth of gold draped in front in Egyptian style, and her net veil. Instead of real flowers she carried gold seed pods and Cape gooseberries. Bix attendants j formed the bridal procession, two chil- I dren ( a boy and a girl) carrying the train, followed by two nieces, a sister , of the bride, and Miss Black, daughter of a well-known London publisher. They, too, wore dresses of gold tissue, ; and carried golden rods instead of bou- ! qufcts.
