WEDDING HICKSON— CARR A wedding of much local interest was celebrated in St. John's Church, Gundagai, on Wednesday, when Mr. Ronald Hickson, second son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Hickson, of Botany, took unto himself for better or for worse one of Gundagai's popular girls, Miss Bessie Carr, third eldest daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Carr, of First Avenue. The Church was prettily decorated for the occasion by friends of the bride, and outside the entrance was a huge wedding bell filled with con fetti. Long before tho bride appeared the Church was filled to its utmost capacity, including the relatives of the bride and bridegroom, the latter journeying from Sydney for the occasion, amongst whom were the groom's father and mother. The bride entered the Church on the arm of her father, and looked extremely pretty in a dress of white georgette and lace, ankle length, veil and train (loaned by Miss Vic. Russell, of Sydney), and carried a bouquet of white cactus dahlias and fragmentoes. Miss Ella Carr was bridesmaid, and wore pink georgette with bead trimmings, posy of apri cot cactus dahlias ana roses, tulle to match. Mr. George Treweek was best man. During the signing of the regieter Mr. Sid Yerberry, a friend of the bridegroom, sang most beautifully "For You Alone," and as the happy couple were leaving the Church the organist played the Wedding March. Rev. S. Davis tied the nuptial knot, and Mrs. Pettit presided at the organ. After the ceremony a reception was held at the residence of the bride's parents, when the guests, principally relatives, were received by Mrs. Carr, who wore a rich dress of black morocain. The bridegroom's mother also wore a similar dress. This being over, cake and wine were partaken of, and the usual congratulatory toasts honored, the Rev. Davis proposing the toast of the day. The happy couple left per motor for Wagga, thence Katoomba, the bride's going-away dress being navy crepe-de-chene, relieved with champagne, coat of navy morocain, hat to tone. The presents were numerous and costly, including a well-furnished house at Botany, where Mr. and Mrs Hickson Jr. will make their home. We join with the whole community in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Hickson a long life of sunshine and happiness. |
