The Roman Catholic Church, Cloncurry, was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Tuesday, 1st September, when Mr Leonard Henry Corser, of "Winslade'" eldest son of Mr Henry Corser, solicitor of Maryborough, was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Frances Mary, third daughter of Mr and Mrs W. Little, Cloncurry. The Rev. Father Murtagh officiated. The pretty bride, who entered the church on the arm of her brother (Mr W. Little) to the strains of "The Voice that Breathed o'er Eden," played by Mr. Murray Russell, looked very attractive in a dress of liberty satin, made with a deep tunic of shadow lace and pretty belt of white satin, with spray of orange blossoms; corsage trimmed with shadow lace. She wore a bridal veil (lent by Mrs Reid Faithfull for luck) and Juliet cap, and carried an ivory prayer-book. She also wore a handsome pearl spray, the gift of Mr T. Hogan. The chief bridesmaid, Miss E. Little (sister) looked very dainty in an embroidered muslin, with over-skirt, large hat softly trimmed with lace and spray of pale pink roses, and lined with pink silk. She wore a pendant of pearls and tourmalines, the gift of the bridegroom. Miss Elsie Byers (Hughenden), second bridesmaid, looked stylish in a pretty cotton voile, with over-dress of Edelweiss lace and white satin belt. She wore a "Dolly Vardan" hat, and also a diamond and emerald ring, the gift of the bridegroom. Mr Edward Kean acted as best man. As the bridal party walked down the aisle to the strains of the wedding march they were showered with confetti from a beautiful floral bell suspended over the aisle, the work of Mrs W. S. Wlllmer and Mrs C. Durbridge. The church was crowded with the many friends of the bride and bridegroom, who are both very popular. The bridal party after the service motored to the residence of the bride's patents, where over 70 guests sat down to a champagne wedding breakfast Rev. Father Murtagh, in a felicitous speech, proposed the toast of the "Bride and Bridegroom," conveying to the happy couple the heartiest good wishes of their friends throughout the district. Mr M. A. Cook (Arolla Downs) an old friend of the bridegroom, capably supported the toast. Mr Corser briefly returned the thanks and appreciation of his bride and himself for all the good wishes and nice things said of them. Mr E. Kean proposed "The Brides maids," in a very appropriate speech, and Mr. Little responded on their behalf. In handling the toast of "The Ladles" Dr. McLennan did full justice to the subject. Mr W. E. H. Ferguson (Warden and Police Magistrate) was most happy in his remarks whan proposing the health of the bride's parents. Mr and Mrs Corser were the recipients of congratulatory telegrams from relatives and friends in many parts of the State. The three-tier wedding-cake was a very handsome work of art,decorated with miniatures emblematic of the bridegroom's pastoral interest. The bride's travelling dress was of sate blue crepe-de-chlne with yoke of fine lace and satin belt to harmonise; hat of tangerine velour with ostrich mount. The mother of the bride wore a dress of Paisley silk with ninon overdress, hat of white felt with black lancer plume.
