November 26, 1936
Mrs. Cornelia Evelyn Paumier Scott of Philadelphia and Prince Henri of Croy, were married today at St. Mary's Church in London, reports the New York Times.
A papal blessing was "bestowed" on the newlyweds. Prince Henri of Croy is a retired Belgian Army officer.
Baron Emil de Cartier de Marchienne, Belgium's ambassador to the Court of St. James, and a witness for the groom, hosted a wedding breakfast for the couple at the embassy.
Cornelia is the widow of W. Carpenter Scott, an American businessman. Ambassador de Marchienne was a close friend of her late husband and Prince Henri, who lived in Washington, D.C.
The bride wore a "brown and gold costume with a collar of antique Flemish lace."
Dr. William J. Anderson, the senior priest at St. Mary's, officiated at the wedding. Reverend. Father Thurston, head of the Jesuit Order in England, gave the bride away.
The nuptial mass took place earlier today at Farm Street Church.
This is the first marriage for the 76-year-old Prince Henri, the third of seven children of the late Prince Juste of Croy and Countess Marie d'Ursel.
Cornelia Paumier was born on October 4, 1877, in Jersey City, New Jersey.
