SOCIAL

A wedding which had been looked forward to with no small amount of interest was celebrated on Wednesday February 28, the contracting parties being Leslie William, eldest son of Mr. W.H. Cranage, contractor, of Noradjuha, and Phenie Gertrude, youngest daughter of Cr. A.W. Walter, J.P., of Oakleigh Park Noradjuha. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. T.J. Payne, at the residence of the bride's parents, and was witnessed by a large number of relatives and friends of both parties. As the bridal party filed into the large dining room, the assembled guests, accompanied by Mrs. Nitschke on the piano, sang two verses of the bridal hymn, "The Voice That Breathed O'er Eden." The bride, who was given away by her father, looked most charming in a dress of creme soft silk trimmed with Valenciennes lace and narrow ribbon, and wore the usual wreath and veil, and carried a handsome bouquet. The first bridesmaid, Miss Bertha Walter, sister of the bride, wore a creme crepe de chine dress, trimmed with Valenciennes lace and insertion and carried a bouquet of sunflowers. The second bridesmaid Miss Annie Cranage, sister of the bridegroom was attired in a dress of blue silk, with trimmings of Valenciennes lace and insertion and carried a bouquet of Carter's dahlias. The bridegroom had for best man, Mr. S.A. Walter, brother of the bride, and Mr. Sam Cranage brother of the bridegroom acted as groomsman. The bridegroom's gift to the bride was a gold opal ring, and to the bridesmaids, gold initial rings, while the bride's gift to the bridegroom was a pair of gold sleeve links. On the conclusion of the ceremony the whole party adjourned to a spacious outbuilding which was very tastefully decorated with ever-greens and flags, where a sumptuous breakfast, prepared by Mr. McCracken, caterer of Horsham, was laid out. After full justice had been done to the good things provided, the chairman Rev. T.J. Payne proposed the toast of the bride and bridegroom, and referred to the fact that both being local residents were well-known and were highly respected by everybody, and he was extremely glad to know they intended to reside in the district. He desired on behalf of the adherents of the local Methodist Church, to make them a presentation, and handed them a beautiful silver hot water kettle on stand and inscribed "Presented to Mr. and Mrs. L.W. Cranage, on the occasion of their marriage, by the adherents of the Methodist Church, Noradjuha, 27th. February 1907." The presentation was accompanied by the following letter:- ... The accompanying slight memento is presented to you on your wedding day in appreciation of many kindly services rendered to the Methodist Church and Sunday school at Noradjuha. The congregation takes this opportunity of thanking you for your unvarying interest in the welfare of the church, and unites in the wish that happiness and prosperity may attend your married life, and that God's blessing may ever rest on your home. Signed for the congregation, T.J. Payne, pastor; Flora A. Payne, Superintendent Sunday school; A.A. Burgess, secretary; W.J. Treadwell, trustee." The bridegroom returned thanks in a neat speech, and thanked the chairman for his kind remarks and his friends for the hearty manner they had received the toast. He desired to especially thank them for their handsome present, and the accompanying letter, which, though quite unexpected, was very much appreciated. Other toasts were "Bridesmaids" by Mr. J. Gillick junr., replied to by Mr. S. Walter and Mr. S. Cranage; "Parents" by Mr. Jas Treadwell, response by Mr. A.W. Walter and Mr. W.H. Cranage; "Ladies" by Mr. J.A. Walter, reply by Mr. E.W. Heard; "Caterer" by Mr. W.J. Treadwell, replied to by Mr. C. McCracken. At the conclusion of the wedding breakfast, outdoor games including tennis, were indulged in, and were kept merrily going until 8 o'clock when an adjournment was made to the dining room where several hours were spent in playing parlor games, bagatelle etc., interspersed with music and singing. A very large number of handsome and valuable presents, including cheques aggregating 100 pounds were received and were shown in the drawing room. The bride and bridegroom left at 12 o'clock to catch the express at Horsham, en route for Melbourne. The bride's travelling dress being navy blue poplin with trimmings of creme silk and lace, small vest of pale blue with medallions. Hat of white lace straw trimmed with white tulle and feathers.
