Harrogate, of Miss Mary (Mollie) Worstenholme, youngest daughter of the
late Mr and Mrs H P Worstenholme, of Castleford, and Mr James
Cockshott, only son of the late Mr T Cockshott and Mrs Cockshott, of

played by the organist of St Mark's Church.

The bride, who was given away by her cousin, Mr Geoffrey Waterhouse,
was dressed in ivory moss crepe; she wore a veil of Limerick lace, lent
by the bridegroom's mother, and her jewellery consisted of a pearl
necklace and ear-rings. She carried a bouquet of pink roses and lilies
of the valley.

The three young bridesmaids, Miss Anne T Bannister, Miss Margaret E
Barker, nieces of the bridegroom, and Miss Angela M Thompson, niece of
the bride, all wore dresses of rose and turquoise taffetas; they wore
matching poke bonnets and carried posies of spring flowers. They also
wore gold chain bracelets, gifts of the bridegroom.

Mr A C Thompson, brother-in-law of the bride, was best man, and the
groomsmen were Mr W Crabtree and Mr G M Worstenholme, the bride's
brother.

After the ceremony a reception was held at the Cafe Imperial. The
honeymoon is being spent in Ludlow. For travelling the bride wore a
fine corduroy suit, topped by a beaver lamb coat.
