A very pretty wedding took place at the Clifton Hill (Melbourne) Wesleyan Church on Wednesday afternoon, the 3rd inst, when Richard Joseph fifth son of the late Mr William Eames, of Bendigo, was united in wedlock to Marianne Esther, eldest daughter of Mr G H Perrin, J.P. of Deniliquin. The marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev S Adamson.
The bride, who was given away by her father, was prettily attired in a pale green Scandivan flounced shirt, fashioned in Eton style, trimmed with white Chantilly lace, and under bodice of white tucked chiffon, cuffs, and collar of cream silk and guipure lace, picture hat of white straw, trimmed with white chiffon on rich tips with gold buckles, and orange blossoms. The bride carried a beautiful bouquet composed of ageless camellias and fern, the gift of the bridegroom. Miss Elsie Simpson, who was charmingly costumed, was bridesmaid. Mr J H Eames performed the duties of “best man”.
At the conclusion of the ceremony breakfast was partaken of by the company at the residence of the bridegroom’s brother, when the usual toasts were honored and felicitation accorded.
