The Tumut and Adelong Times 21 Feb1928
DOUBLE WEDDING BUCKLEY— LINDBECK PARSONS— LINDBECK It is many a day since, if ever, a wedding caused so much local interest and excitement in Adelong, as the double one that eventuated on Wednesday last, at St. Paul's Church of England, when Rev. G. F. Pyke, assisted by our old friend, Rev. J. M. Thomas, officiated. Friends of the brides saw to it that the Church was looking its best, being daintily decorated by their hands. Long betore the appointed hour for the wedding, viz. 7 p.m.., crowds of local folk were wending their way to St. Paul's Church, and, by the time the brides entered, the church, the seating accommodation was well taxed. The contracting parties were Miss Edna R. Lindbeck and Mr. Charles H. Buckley, of Adelong, and Miss Matilda J. Lindbeck and Mr. Harold E. Parsons, of South Australia. The brides are daughters of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Lindbeck, of Adelong. As the brides entered the church, the choir sang ''Oh, Perfect Love." Miss Edna was given away by her father, whilst Miss Tilly was given by her brother, Mr. Arthur Lindbeck, of Blowering. The former wore a gown of ivory georgette, with tight fitting body, finished at neck and waist with posy of orange blossoms, skirt of silver lace over which were long petals of ivory georgette, a handsomely embossed veil on silk net caught, in place with a coronet of orange blossoms, and she came with dainty sheaf of pink gladioli and asperagus fern. She was attended by Miss Leila Buckley as bridesmaid. Bride Tilly wore ivory georgette, tightly fitting body, finished at neck with large silver posy, skirt with alternate frills of silver lace and finely pleated georgette. Her handsomely embossed veil was caught in place with orange blossom, and she carried a bouquet of tiger lilies and white asters. Miss Rene Todd was her bridesmaid. The bridesmaids were daintily attired, Miss Buckley wearing mandarin taffeta, tightly fitting body, and skirt of silver lame with alternate panels of silver lace and taffeta. Her head-dress was mandarin tulle, caught with silver hand-made rose, and she carried a sheaf of shaded pink and yellow gladiolii and asparagus fern. Miss Rene Todd wore pink georgette, heavily beaded head-dress, shaded tulle and posy. Her bouquet was of mauve delphiniums and asters. Mr. C. H. Buckley is the second son of the late Mr. B. B. and Mrs. Buckley, of Mandurama. Mr. H. E. Parsons' parents hail from Sydney. Mr. Frank Buckley, brother of the groom of that name, successfully piloted and seconded his brother as best man, whilst Mr. Parsons also had the able assistance of his brother, Eric, who came from Sydney for the. occasion. Whilst the happy couples were signing the register, Miss Howard, of Tumut, sweetly sang "Beloved, it is morn!" Mrs. H . Bye officiated at the organ both for the Wedding March and the accompaniments. After the ceremony, the guests a.adjourned to the Masonic Hall, where the breakfast was laid. They were received here by the mother of the brides, Mrs. Lindbeck, who wore black moracain and carried a posy or red dahlias and zinnias. The reception hall was a beautiful sight, being tastefully decorated with blue aud pink gladioli and delphiniums,' all the flowers both for the decorations and the bouquets being girts of Mrs. E. J. Adams, of 'Hillboro,' Yavon Creek. The bou viuets were made by Mrs. George Per kins, with her usual good taste. The excellent catering was the work of Mrs. Jack Young, and reflected the greatest credit on her. Both veils worn by the brides were kindly lent by friends for the occasion. Prom inent in the centre of the table was a huge wedding cake, made by the skilful hands of Mrs. Lindbeck, mo ther of the brides. At tho breakfast, the usual toast list was honored, af ter which the happy couples left on their honeymoon, both parties travel ling by their own motor car. Mr. and Mrs. Parsons will spend most of their honeymoon motoring in N.S.W. and eventually motor over to South Australia, whilst Mr. and Mrs. Buckley will tour N.S.W. Going away, Mrs. Buckley wore saxe crepe-dechene trimmed with champagne, hat, shoes and hand-bag to tone, black crepe-de-chene top coat. Mrs. Parsons' going-away frock was a smart ensemble of biege crope-de-chene, hat, shoes and hand-bag to tone, The cars left to an accompaniment of cock-a-doodle-doos from the many cars assembled outside the reception hall, and the good wishes of their many friends. |
