By 1909, The Chiswick Times was featuring the occasional photograph and line drawing illustrations were becoming common. These two portraits were submitted to accompany a report of The Wedding of the Week, subtitled: A pretty ceremony, when the account was published in the issue of January 15, 1909....
The marriage took place on Saturday afternoon at St Alban's Church, Acton Green of Miss Gladys Blanche Katherine Cowper, daughter of Mrs F Cowper of 7 Fairlawn Court, Fairlawn Park and Captain Guy Maxwell Shipway of the 2nd Battalion Gloucestershire Regiment, son of Lieutenant-Colonel and Mrs R W Shipway of Grove House, Chiswick.
A large crowd awaited the arrival of the bride who was led into the church by her eldest brother, Mr F Cadogan Cowper ARA and was followed by four bridesmaids, viz Miss Nesta Cowper younger sister of the bride, Miss Shipway, only sister of the bridegroom, Miss Dorothy Brodie and Miss Ruth Heathcote.
The bridal dress was of finest white oriental brocade, made in Directoire style and trimmed round with handsome pearl embroidery, ending in a heavy pearl tassel.
The transparent chemisette and long ruched sleeves were sprinkled with single pearls.
The bride wore a very handsome Honiton lace veil lent by Mrs Castle, diamond earrings presented by the bridegroom and a beautiful diamond pendant given her by Colonel Shipway, bridegroom's father. She carried a sheaf of Madonna lilies.
The choir preceded her up the church and the band of the Gloucestershire Regiment played charming selections.
