John and Alice Victoria DAVIS, 1902
A pretty wedding was celebrated in St. Luke's C.E. Gulgong, on the 23rd, the Rev. Haviland officiating, when Miss Alice Davis, youngest daughter of Mr. J. J. Davis, of Birriwa, was married to Mr. J. A. Campbell, of ' Trilby,' second son of the late Mr. J. A. Campbell, of Slapdash. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr. G. Davis, looked beautiful, dressed in soft white silk, the bodice was finely tucked with fischu, edged with very fine Valenciennes lace, handsomely worked veil and wreath of orange blossoms, and carried a bouquet of lillies of the valley. The bridesmaids were Miss H. Davis and Miss Jean Campbell, nieces of the bride. They were dressed in dotted muslin, trimmed with cream guipure over buttercup, hats trimmed with cream silk, and wore sprays of lillies of the valley. Mr. R. J. Campbell acted as best man. Over 70 friends and relatives of the bride and bridegroom assembled at the church and wished them joy. The bride's travelling dress was brown poplin, trimmed with silk guipure, and a pretty fawn hat. Mr. and Mrs Campbell left amid showers of rice for Bathurst, where they will spend a few weeks.
