Marriage Notes:
"A wedding, which caused a good doal of interest locally, was celebrated at St. Peter's Church of England, Hornsby, on Wednesday afternoon, the contracting parties, who were well-known, being Charles Carpenter, son of Mr. Charles Carpenter, senior, of Peat's Ferry-road, and Lilian Bohlsen, daughter of Mr. H. G. Bohlsen, of George-street. Tho ceremony was performed by tho Rev. Langford Smith, rector. The church, which was tastefully decorated for tho occasion by friends of the happy couple, was well- filled by interested spectators, several of whom, liberally bospinkled tho newly-made man and wife with confetti and roso-leaves as soon as the ceremony was over, and they were making their way out of the church. The service was choral, the church choir singing appropriate hymns, with Miss Sutton, organist presiding at the organ. As tho bridal party was leaving the sacred precincts, the organist played Mendelssohn's Wedding March. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked particularly well in a costume of white muslin, trimmed with lace and insertion, and wearing the orthodox wreath of orange blossom and bridal veil. She carried a lovely shower bouquet, gift of the bride groom. There were four bridesmaids, namely, Miss Eda Bohlsen, sistor of the bride, and Miss Lucy Jacobson, who. were dressed alike in costumes of white muslin trimmed with lace and insertion, and wearing hats to match ; and Misses Alice and Hectorine Carpenter, sisters of the bridegroom, who were also attired alike in cream silk blouses and cream voile skirts, with hats to match. The whole of the bridesmaids carried handsome bouquets, which were presented by the bride groom. Mr. Christopher Bohlsen, brother of the bride, noted in the capacity of best man. After the ceremony the bridal party drove to the residence of the parents of the bridegroom, where they received the congratulations of a large number of relatives and friends, and where a sumptuous breakfast was partaken of by about fifty guests. The chief toast, "The bride and bridegroom" was entrusted to Rev. L. Smith, who did it every justice. "The bridesmaids" was well responded to by Miss Eda Bohlsen. In the evening a social was held in honor of the event in the School of Arts, which was attended by a numerous gathering of invited guests. Dancing was indulged in till after 10 o'clock, when the happy couple took leave of the company, amid showers of confetti and rose leaves, and good wishes, for thoir new home in Dural-road, Hornsby." 8
