Davis, another brother of the bride, performed the duties of best man.

The reception was held at George's Reception Rooms, where the mother of the bride, assisted by an aunt of the bride, Mrs. Curtis, received a considerable gathering of relatives and friends. Both chose for the oc casion black frocks with white tonings.

The Rev. Williams presided at the festivities, and after the usual toast list had been honored, the bride and groom left for a short honeymoon at Goulburn, where the groom's parents and relatives reside. The happy couple have since taken up residence at Windsor." 4
