Mr. Gilbert Elliot to Miss Phyllis Stokes.

Miss Phyllis Baret Stokes, second daughter of the late Major Edward Stokes (King's Own Regiment) and Mrs. Stokes, of Ellel Hall, near Lancaster, was married to Mr. Gilbert Elliot, son of the late Mr. Augustus John Elliot, of the Bengal Civil Service, on January 11th, at 2 p.m., at St. Mary Abbott's Church, Kensington. The service was choral, with hymns 157, 578, 379, and Wagner's Bridal March from "Lohengrin." The Rev. H. A. Macnaghten (uncle of bridegroom) officiated, assisted by the Rev. Canon Allen (late vicar of Lancaster). The bride was given away by her uncle, Admiral Stokes, and her wedding dress was of ivory duchesse satin, embroidered with chenille and with beautiful old Honiton lace (gift of the bridegroom's mother). She wore a tulle veil and orange blossom wreath, and carried a shower bouquet of white flowers (given by the bridegroom). The best man was Mr. G. W. Elliot, and the bridesmaids were — the Misses Gertrude, Violet, Constance, and Kathleen Stokes (four sisters of the bride), and Miss C. B. Turner. They wore gowns of white Liberty silk, with cream guipure lace, with white silk hats with single dahlias in pastel shades of mauve, and large "granny" muffs of silk instead of bouquets. The bridesmaids' presents from the bridegroom were turquoise and pearl brooches. Subsequently a small reception was held at the Kensington Hotel, Queen's Gate Terrace, and later in the day Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Elliot left for their honeymoon, the bride travelling in a dress of pale shade of grey tweed, with cream lace and moleskin, a toque hat of moleskin and parma violets, and a coat of the same fur.
