Last Wednesday the marriage was celebrated at Wilberforce of Mr J. Stephen to Miss Edie Buttsworth of Wilberforce. The ceremony was performed by Rev Herbert Guinness at the residence of the bride’s parents and there was a goodly gathering of friends present. Mr Hadley was best on the occasion and Mr Jas Buttsworth gave his sister away. The costume of the bride was of white liberty silk, trimmed with lace, with wreath and veil, and she carried a lovely bouquet, the gift of the bridegroom. The bridesmaids were Miss Louie and Ada Buttsworth, who were dressed in brown hopsack, trimmed with blue ribbon velvet, each wearing a brooch the gift also of the bridegroom. About 40 guests sat down to a sumptuous breakfast. Several toasts were drunk, including the “Bride” and “Bridegroom” proposed by Rev H. Guinness, responded by Mr Stephen; “The Ladies” by Mr A. Buttsworth, acknowledged by Mr Hadley’ “Mr & Mrs Buttsworth snr” by Mr Uren, responded to by Mr J. Buttsworth. The health of Mrs Stephens, mother of the bridegroom, was proposed by Mr Arthur Buttsworth and Mr Wilson acknowledged the toast. Many valuable presents were received by the happy couple, including one of a very unique and ornamental character-an epergne-from the bridegroom’s brother-officers in the electric telegraph department. The party left Wilberforce for Windsor about 3 o’clock in two coaches, with four greys attached, turned out by Mr Steve Dunston in his best style, and amidst a shower of rice from the crowd of assembled friends, the newly married pair steamed away Sydney-wards by the afternoon train. They leave on a trip to Tasmania by the Orient steamer Ophir on Saturday, carrying with them the good wishes of all. Windsor & Richmond Gazette 23.3.1895
