Help with transcribing a marriage certificate

I have posted the image of a 1912 marriage record for Olive Stirling d/o Vice Admiral Frederick Henry Stirling & His wife Helen Cecilia née Deas-Thomson on the record for http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Stirling-646.

I feel sure that the GRO marriage transcription on free BMD is in error for the grooms surname

I have poured over this image for a long time but am still not sure that I have read it correctly.

If anyone has good eyesight and could help me with this transcription I would much appreciate that help.

In particular the grooms name, his father’s name , his occupation & the name of the church would be of tremendous help. Also if anyone has information of what happened to this couple following that marriage as the trail has gone cold for me.

Possibility?  https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NWDL-N87

I agree Sigurd Bentzon - Secretary ___ ____ office. Father's name - middle name looks like dyder first name Whaer ? - some unfamiliar norse type name. I think the parish may be St. George Hanover. And the line.. according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the "Established" Church.
