Attending the wedding were many guests from outlying centres. It was the first wedding to be held in that hall for 14 years. The bride's frock, which was most becoming, was of navy blue, with saxe blue accessories, and that o match. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Maude Gudgeon, who was frocked in blue, with hat to match.

The bridegroom's brother (Mr.D. Campbell) was best man. The hall was beautifully decorated by Dr. Marjorie Tunley. Dr. L. W. Tunley was at the console of the organ. The marriage ceremony was performed by Major Turner, Divisional Commanding Officer of the Bathurst district. During the signing of the register, Captain McCarthy rendered a solo.

The reception was later held at the Town Hall, at which the bride's mother, frocked in grey wool-de-chine and navy blue accessories, and carrying a bouquet of red carnations, received the guests.

A beautiful three-tier cake, made by Miss E. Taylor, and decorated by Mr. Bert Sweeney, adorned thetable. The happy couple left by car for their honeymoon, which was spent touring the Northern Rivers, and return via Sydney. They have taken up their residence in the district.
