Marriage in High Life
On Tuesday last the town of Kilrush presented a scene of gaiety and
rejoicing, seldom if ever equalled in that locality. On the day was
celebrated the marriage of Elizabeth Frances, the amiable and accomplished
daughter of Colonel and Lady Grace Vandeleur, of Kilrush House, to
St. John Thomas Blacker, Esq., D.L., co Kerry. There was a continuous
discharge of cannon from the Court terrace and yacht in honor of the
happy event. A profusion of streamers floated from the principal commercial
buildings of the town, and all the vessels in the harbour were also
gaily decked with flags and presented a very pretty appearance – particularly
the “Ariel” and the “Carolina.” Before the
hour appointed for the nuptial ceremony, all the approaches to the
church were thronged, and the avenue leading to the sacred edifice
was lined with Col. Vandeleur’s workmen, dressed in their neatest
trim, and pluming themselves on the possession of wedding favors which
they displayed with evident pleasure. In another position were ranged
in order the children of the Kilrush female school, who waved their
white handkerchiefs, and politely curtsied to their distinguished patroness,
Lady Grace Vandeleur, from whom they received a graceful recognition.
At a quarter past 11 o’clock the bridal party arrived at the
church, among whom we noticed the Right Hon. the Earl of Norbury, and
Henry Vandeleur, Esq, uncle of the bride. Col. John Vandeleur, Mrs
and the Misses Vandeleur of Ballinacourty, Henry Stuart Burton, Esq.,
D.L., Mrs. and the Misses Burton of Carrigaholt Castle, T. Blacker,
Esq., (brother to the bridegroom), Mrs. Blacker, &c, &c., accompanied
by a gay and fashionable assemblage of ladies and gentlemen of the
town and neighbourhood.
The lovely bride was led and presented to the altar by her father.
She was accompanied by six bridesmaids, sumptuously attired, in white
tarletain dresses flounced, cerise mantlettes, trimmed with deep fringed
and white tulle bonnets, and each bearing a magnificent bouquet. The
dress of the bride was a white silk, deeply trimmed with the rich tarletain,
over which a splendid veil of embroidered lace fell gracefully from
the beautiful festoon of orange flowers which constituted the headdress.
But more exquisite description and one which will, perhaps convey more
accurately the impression made upon the minds of the spectators may
be found in the language of the poet:-
“She moved as moves the moon radiant and pale
Through the calm night, wrapped in a silvery cloud:
The jewels of her dress shone through her veil,
As shine the stars through their thin vaporous shroud:
The brighter jewels of her eyes were hid,
Beneath their smooth white caskets arching o’er,
Which by the trembling of each lovely lid,
Seemed conscious of the treasures that they bore.”
The ceremony was performed by the Right Hon. and Right Reverent Lord
Riverdsale, the Lord Bishop of Killaloe, assisted by the Reverend Joseph
S. Robbins, rector of Kilrush. As the bridal party left the church, the
cheers of the multitude were so loud as almost to overpower the roaring
of the cannon simultaneously discharged. A large party which included,
besides those already named Admiral, Mrs. and Miss Studdert, Mrs. Persse,
and Mrs. Blair, Dr. Elliot, Mr. and Mrs. Blennerhassett, Mr. and Misses
Keane of Gower &c. &c., then proceeded to Kilrush House, where
a splendid “dejeuner” was proved.
The happy pair shortly afterwards proceeded in a handsome chariot and
four to the resident of Colonel John Vandeleur of Ballinacourty, and
from thence they will proceed to Castlemartin, the residence of Thomas
Blacker Esq.
In the evening nothing could surpass the enthusiasm with which ignited
tar barrels were paraded through the town, which was brilliantly illuminated
up to a late hour. Joy bells were ringing, and an incessant fusillade
was kept up till midnight from fire-arms of all sorts and sizes. Bonfires
were to be seen blazing on every spot of rising ground in all directions
over the surrounding country, and the whole scene far surpassed anything
of the kind, that has been witnessed on the banks of the Shannon for
many years.
