February 17,1916 WEDDING JUDE------BOYD A very pretty wedding was celebrated at the Methodist Church, Natimuk, by the Rev. E. SHACKELL, on Wednesday, 15th inst, the contracting parties being Miss A. BOYD, daughter of Mr J. C. BOYD, Station Master of Natimuk, and Mr L.J.C. JUDE, son of Mr D. JUDE, of Buninyong. The bride, who was given away by her father, was prettily attired in a gown of cream silk, and the usual wreath and veil, and wore a lovely gold necklet, the gift of the bridegroom. She carried a beautiful bouquet and a Maltese handkerchief, the gift of Mrs ROSEL. Miss Dorothy BOYD, sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid, and Mr E. JUDE as best man. The bridegroom's gift to the bridesmaid was a dainty gold brooch, and the bride's gift to the bridegroom a pair of gold sleeve links. The church was beautifully decorated by friends of the bride. The reception and wedding breakfast was held at the residence of the bride's parents. The happy couple left mid showers of confetti and good wishes, per motor, for Horsham to catch the train en route for Lorne, where the honeymoon is to be spent. The bride travelled in a costume of Mole coloured cloth with hat to match. The presents were costly and numerous. A shower tea was tendered to Miss BOYD at Mrs NITSCHKE'S residence on Wednesday evening of last week. A large crowd gathered to do honour to the guest, who was held in very high esteem by all who knew her. The evenings program consisted of musical items, competitions, etc., and a dainty supper was served. Miss BOYD thanked her friends for the honour bestowed on her. The singing of Auld Lang Syne brought an enjoyable evening to a close. Daryl Crabtree Gladstone C.Qld Australia www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/goroke/index.html
