  Marriage Notes:

" SEMLISKY— McINNNES.

The Union Hall at Bellimbopinni, beautifully decorated , by girl friends of the bride with palms, tree ferns, and burrawangs, was crowded on September 26. 1917, with guests and interested onlookers, drawn from Kempsey, and Lower Macleay districts, on the occasion of the marriage of Private Gordon Semlisky, son of Mr. ind Mrs. C. Semlisky, of Hay, to Maggie, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Mclnnes, Public School, Bellimhopinni. An arch of flannel flowers and asparagus fern, from which was suspended a handsome floral wedding bell, bearing the initials of the contracting parties, made and presented by Mrs. Meehan of Kinchela, completed the decorations. The ceremony at 4 p.m. was performed by the Rev. David Smith, M. A , of Kempsey, who wore the hood and gown of his degree. The bride, given away by her father, entered the hall to the strains of "The Voice that breathed o'er .Eden," was daintily gowned in white silk, with vest and sleeves of ninon, and pearl trimmings, and customary wreath and veil; and carried a beautiful bouquet, also the gift of Mrs. Meehan. Miss Una Plummer, as bridesmaid, was handsomely gowned in cream gabardine, with hat en suite. Miss Clytie Saul capably fulfilled the duties of organist. Sergt Major Gobel acted as best man; and in the hall were quite a number of lads in khaki. After the ceremony, a reception was held at the residence of the bride's parents, 70 guests being present. The wedding break fast was served on the roomy northern verandah, which was gaily decorated with flags, and streamers of red, white, and blue. The Rev. David Smith, as chairman, in happy speech proposed the toast of the bride and bridegroom, the latter ably responding. Mr. Thos. Srown in neat speech, proposed the toast of the bride's, and bridegroom's parents, dealing especially with the patriotic side of their character. Mr. McInnes responded for both Mrs. McInnes and himself, and Pte. .Semlisky's parents, who were unavoidably absent. Sergt. Major Gobel, Cpl. Osborne, and Corporal Savage, also spoke in felicitous terms. Later, the happy couple left by car for Wauchope, thence to Sydney, where the honeymoon was spent. Their future, home will be at Arndiffe. The bride travelled in a smart costume of grey chiffon laffeta, trimmed with gold thread, and a becoming hat to match. The presents, numerous and costly included several cheques. (Contributed )." 5
