MR. ALEX. GAYDON—MISS ELIZABETH SARAH GRAYSON.
The marriage of Mr. Alexander Gaydon, eldest son of Mr. Alex. Gaydon, Park View, Toowoomba, to Elizabeth Sarah, eldest daughter of Mr. Francis Grayson (ex-Mayor), " Mildura," Warwick, took place on Wednesday last in St. Mark's Church, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. T. W. Ramm. Rarely, if ever, has such interest been shown on any such previous occasion, the church being thronged long before either the guests or bridal party arrived. The hour fixed was 12.30, and the excitement had almost reached its height when the bride, looking charming, some few minutes afterwards entered the church leaning on her father's arm. The organist (Mr. S. S. Fenwick) was in attendance, and the choir sweetly sang "The Voice that Breathed o'er Eden." The bride was met at the chancel by the bridegroom, attended by his best man (Mr. Thos. Gaydon); also Messrs. J. and F. Gaydon (brothers of the bridegroom), and Mr. R. J. Grayson (brother of the bride) in the capacity of groomsman. The bride was attended by six maidens, Miss Emily Ferguson (of Brisbane) chief, Miss Cathie, Edie, and Belle Grayson (sisters of the bride), Miss Lillie Gaydon (sister of the bridegroom), and Miss Rachael Lomas (cousin of the bride). The bride wore rich while merveilleux, skirt demi train, trimmed round the bottom with handsome silk lace, caught up at intervals with lilies of the valley and bows of moire ribbon. The bodice, which fastened at the left side with flowers and ribbons, was of yoke and full sleeves, adorned with rosettes of moire ribbon, finished with ruffles of silk lace, a wreath of orange blossoms, court veil of beautifully worked tulle fastened to the coiffure, and thence falling to the train completed the rich and becoming toilet.
The bridesmaids, which formed a very pleasing picture, being scarcely less charming than the bride, were dressed as follows:—Miss E. Ferguson: A very pretty dress of cream voile, with sleeves of buttercup moire, trimming of glistening gold gimp, and picture hat adorned with ostrich plumes and buttercups. Three of the others wore white voile trimmed with lace and ribbon and empire belts of lace-ete-nil silk, and their pretty white net hats to match perfected their pretty costumes; while the two tiny sisters looked sweet in their pretty coral pink smocked frocks which were trimmed with lace and white moire ribbons. They all wore handsome gold bar brooches, the gift of the bridegroom.
The happy couple leaving the church to the sweet strains of the Wedding March were met with showers of rose leaves, and after passing through the crowd reached the carriage and drove off. They were followed by quite a large procession of conveyances, bearing visitors from town and surrounding districts, some having come from Childers, Brisbane, Ipswich, Toowoomba, and Greenmount. Having reached " Mildura" more than eighty sat down to a most sumptuous breakfast, to which ample justice was done, and judging by the sounds of merry laughter kind good cheer prevailed. Mrs. Newcomb, who catered, excelled herself on this occasion. A most beautiful wreath in the form of a horse shoe, the gift of a friend, hung just over where the newly wedded pair sat. The Rev. T. W. Ramm, who occupied the chair, in a very felicitous speech, in which he spoke in eulogistic terms of the bride as a Sunday school teacher and worker in the parish, proposed the health of "The Bride and Bridegroom," to which Mr. Gaydon in few but suitable words responded. The health of " The Bride's Parents" was proposed by Mr. F. B. Woods. Mr. F. Grayson responded. The Rev. W. Dinning proposed the health of " The Bridegroom's Parents." Mr. Gaydon, senr., responded. Mr. Thos. Allen, Greenmount, proposed " The Grand Parents of the Bride;" Mr R. J. Grayson, " The Bridesmaids;" Mr. G. H. Lomas, "The Visitors," to which Mr. T. Allen and Mr. O. Spreadborough responded. Mr. J. W. Wild proposed " The Press," to which Mr. S. Irwin, Examiner and Times, responded. Mr. G. H. Knowles proposed the health of the Chairman in an eulogistic speech, and after the Rev. T. W. Ramm replied, and hearty congratulations offered all round to the newly wedded pair, the company dispersed.
