Bell-Allen.-A wedding, which excited an unusual degree of interest about this district, was solemnized on the 26th ultimo, by the Rev. Father Hayes, at Toowoomba, when Miss Nellie Allen, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Allen, Oakey Creek, gave her hand in marriage to Mr. James Bell, overseer on the Westbrook Station. Miss Allen's amiable disposition and captivating manners have rendered her extremely popular amongst all classes of this community, and the feeling entertained for her was most appropriately shown when the residents of Oakey turned out en masse in honor of the happy event. It was previously arranged that the bridal party should meet Father Hayes at 11 o'clock a.m., and that after the marriage ceremony the party were at once to proceed to Oakey by the mid-day train. The bridal party, in addition to the bride and bridegroom, consisted of the three bridesmaids, Miss Mary Allen, Miss Kate Noonan, Miss Nellie Ryan. Mr. Thomas Allen, father of the bride, who gave his daughter away; Mr. John P. Allen, "best man." The party also comprised, Mr. Rodger Gallagher, Mr. James Searle, Mr. John A. Bauer, Miss Noonan, Miss J. Noonan, Miss O'Connell, Miss Winifred O'Connell, Miss Bridget N'Connell, Mr. Murphy, unci Mr. M`Stay. The bride's dress was of cream embroidered muslin, trimmed with orange blossoms and pink ribbons, with bonnet to match. The bridesmaids, Miss Mary Allen and Miss Kate Noonan, wore white muslin dresses, trimmed with ecru, with hats to match. Miss Nellie Ryan, a little dot of six summers, another of the bridesmaids, was magnificently attired in white muslin costume, trimmed with pale-blue, with white tulle bonnet gaily decorated with lily-of-the-valley sprays. Each of the bridesmaids wore lapis lazuli lockets, with gold ball pendants, and each carried a handsome bouquet. On the arrival of the wedding party at the Oakey Railway Station, the platform was densely crowded with visitors to welcome the happy pair. This was done in rare good style, showers of rice flying like hail in all directions. In front of the bride's parents residence, on the green, a large marquee was erected and neatly decorated in honor of the happy event, festoons of flowers and evergreens, with appropriate mottoes, being displayed all round. Here the party were driven to where a splendid dejeuner was partaken of by over 150 guests. The bill of fare consisted of every luxury and delicacy of the season. The bride's cake was very much admired. Constructed in three tiers, it towered almost two feet in height, and was ornamented with festoons of lilies and azaleas grouped with sprays of orange blosoms and water lilies, cornucopias projecting from the sides, orange blossoms and jessamine intertwined round the base, the whole being surrounded by a handsome vase and bouquet. Amongst the guests present I noticed persons from Lagoon Creek, Jondaryan, Toowoomba, Crosshill, Westbrook, in addition to those from Oakey Creek. At the conclusion of the repast, Mr. John A. Bauer, who occupied the chair, proposed " The Health of the Bride and Bride groom " in a very appropriate and telling speech, in which he eulogized Mr. Bell for his uprightness and strict integrity since his arrival as a resident of the district. Mr. R. M. Power, in elegant and happy phrases, gave " The Health of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Allen," parents of the bride. Mr. Edward Cherry, chairman of the Oakey School Committee, next rose, and spoke at Considerable length of the esteem the happy couple were held in, anticipating for both Mr. and Mrs. Bell a long life of true felicity. The vice-chairman, Mr. B. Searle, made a few remarks in a similar strain, expressing the sincere hope that the bride's new life would win for her as much esteem as she had won in her parental home. Their healths were then drank with "three times three " in flowing bumpers of champagne. The presents, which were laid out on several tables, were costly as well as serviceable.
