Brown, of Milford. The Rev. A. B. Todd was the officiating minister. The Woodbury Presbyterian Church was nicely decorated for the occasion. The bridesmaids were the Misses Flo. Webb, Jean Brown, and Lexy Cormack, and Mr F. Brown, brother of the bridegroom, acted as best man, and Mr A. Sutherland as groomsman. After the ceremony in the church the party drove to the residence of the bride's father, where in a large marquee on the lawn a sumptuous breakfast was spread. The guests numbered about 90. The following toasts were honoured : —"The bride and bridegroom," proposed by the Rev. A. B. Todd, and heartily responded to; "The bridesmaids," and "The parents," The presents received by the happy couple were numerous and handsome. In the evening a social was held in the school, at which over a hundred were present. Dancing was indulged in till the early hours of morning.
