Marriage Notes:
"Woolley—Morgan
On 3rd April, at the Methodist Church, Hurstville, the Rev. Mr. Coleman, Industrial Mission Minister of the Methodist Church, joined together in matrimony Mr. Walter H. Woolley, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Woolley, of Burrundulla and Mudgee, and Miss Lily May Price Morgan, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George P. Morgan, of Mudgee. It was indeed a very pretty wedding, and the late afternoon sun added to the harmony of the blending colors.
The bride entered the church on the arm of her father, by whom she was given away. Her frock was of magnolia ring velvet, and she also wore a halo of velvet and the orthodox veil, the whole adding to the charm of a beautiful bride. Her bouquet was of tuberose, frangipanni and gladioli.
The sister of the bride, Miss Nola Morgan, acted as bridesmaid, and she, too, looked charming in her frock of lily of the valley green velvet, toque and shoes to tone, and carrying a bouquet of autumn-tinted gladioli, silver leaves and maiden-hair fern. Mr. J. Pirie, junr., was best man.
The reception was held in Orr's reception rooms, and was presided over by the Rev. Mr. Coleman, the guests being received by Mrs. G. Morgan, mother of the bride, who wore a frock of grey morocain touched with white satin and toque to match. She was assisted by Mrs. George Thompson, sister of the bridegroom, who wore a frock of black morocain touched with white. After the loyal toast the Rev. Mr. Coleman proposed the toast of "The Bride and Bridegroom," responded to by the bridegroom. The following other toasts were honored: "Bridesmaid," by the bridegroom, response by Mr. J. Pirie, junr., "Bride's Parents," by Mr. Ray S. Mogg, of Ryde and formerly of Burrundulla, response by Mr. G. Morgan; "Relatives of the Bridegroom," by Mr. C. E. Champion, response by Horace Woolley; "Chairman," by Mr. Horace Woolley.
The bride's going-away frock was of tailored grey boucle cloth, which she covered with a coney coat (the gift of the bridegroom). The bride's gift to the bridegroom was a set of gold sleeve links. The gift of the bridegroom to the bridesmaid was a wristlet watch.
The future home of the happy couple is to be in Mudgee, and all join in wishing them long and happy lives." 11
