WEBSTER—THORNE. The marriage of Mr. D. J. Webster, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Webster ("Eldersyde," Nambour) to Miss Olive May Thorne, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Thorne (Laidley), was celebrated on Oct. 7th, in the Methodist Church, Laidley. Punctually at the appointed hour the bride entered the church on the arm of her father to the strains of the "Bridal March" played by Miss Q. Land (Toowong). The service was fully choral, and the church was beautifully decorated by friends of the bride, with English oak leaves and white flowers. A most artistic wedding bell was suspended over the bridal couple, while their outline initials took a prominent place amongst the greenery. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. Williams, of Laidley ,assisted by the Rev. W. Shenton, (Bundamba). The white velvet cushion which the bridal couple knelt upon was the work of Miss Mabel Thorne. The bride's gown (made by Miss Webster, Corinda), was composed of white satin charineuse and was trimmed with real point lace and pearls. Her wedding veil, and real orange blossoms were worn over a cap of point lace and net, and the sheaf which she carried was composed of white watsonias and arum lilies. The court train was suspended from the left shoulder, and was borne by two little train-bearers, Miss Beryl Bailey and Master Gordon Thorne. Little Miss Beryl Bailey carried a posy of white flowers, and wore a gold bangle, a gift from the bridegroom. Master Gordon Thorne's gold tie pin was also a present from the bridegroom. The bridesmaids were Miss Elsie Thorne (chief), Miss Daisy Webster, and Miss Mabel Thorne. The Misses Thorne's gold drop pendants and Miss Webster's gold watch were the bridegroom's gifts. All three maids wore costumes of white crepe foam trimmed with Chantilly lace, and Medici collars. They carried sheafs of white watsonias and ferns. Mr. George Webster acted as best man, and Messrs. Harry Sanderson and Norman Webster as groomsmen. Subsequently Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Thorne entertained about sixty guests at the wedding breakfast. The beautiful three-tier wedding cake was ornamented with emblems in honor of the bridegroom, and was the work of his uncle (Mr. D. Webster, Brisbane). The usual toasts were proposed and duly responded to. Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Webster left by the afternoon mail train for Brisbane, prior to their departure on an extended tour to the Blue Mountains and Tasmania. Mrs .Webster travelled in a costume of a light apricot shade, with a "Dolly Varden" hat trimmed with shaded roses to tone. Her gold bangle was a present from the bridegroom. Mrs. J. V. Thorne (mother of the bride) wore a gown of grey silk colienne, and a hat of floral ninon. Mrs. G. Webster's costume was of black Oriental satin, with an overdress of silk lace; her hat was of black satin, ornamented with lancer plume. Many beautiful presents including several cheques were received, amongst them being presentations from the members of the Laidley Methodist Choir and Sunday School, with which Miss Thorne had been closely connected.
