BOVILL AND MISS LEIGH "The marriage took place yesterday, at St. George's, Hanover Square, of Captain William Frederick Bovill, 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards, only son of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Bovill, of Sondes House, Bekesbourne, Canterbury, and Miss Marjorie Joan Leigh, only daughter of Sir John Leigh, M.P., and Lady Leigh. The Rev. Cyril Cresswell officiated. "The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a close-fitting gown of white satin slightly ruched at the waist, with a high cowl neckline and long, tight-fitting sleeves. The bodice was finished with seed-pearl embroidery in a chain design, and the train was with a banded head-dress of seed pearls, and she carried a bouquet of auratum lilies. Peter Allfrey was the train-bearer, and there were four child bridesmaids—Pat and Susan Carter (nieces of the bridegroom), Gillian Pretyman, and Lavinia Agnew. The little boy wore the uniform of the bridegroom's regiment of a century ago, and the little girls had long, high-waisted dresses of white satin on gathered yokes, with puff sleeves and circular skirts. They wore bands of pearls in their hair and carried lilies-of-the-valley. Captain J. Anderson was best man, and a guard of honour was formed from the bridegroom's regiment. The reception was held at 6, Carlton House Terrace."
