The pretty
little church in the Croft, East Knottingley, was quite filled with
spectators on Monday morning, who had assembled to witness the marriage of
Miss Fanny Witton to Mr. Frank Wild, eldest son of Mr. John Wild, of the
firm Messrs. Bagley Wild and Company. The church was beautifully decorated
for the occasion.
The bride wore a cream-coloured cashmere dress, trimmed
with satin and orange blossom, and the brides-maids, (Miss H. Witton,
sister of the bride, and Miss Sybil Wild, sister of the bridegroom) wore
dresses of pale blue cashmere, trimmed with swans down. Mr. Walter Eccles
of Leeds, was the best man and the Rev. Crawford, the vicar, officiated.
After the ceremony a large party sat down to breakfast at the residence of
the brides father, after which the happy pair departed on their wedding
tour. In honour of the event the workpeople of the company were
entertained on Monday evening in the large warehouse at the works. During
the day flags were flying in various parts of the town.
