| Marriage* | 3 November 1933 | Clunes Methodist Church, Clunes, NSW, Australia; Wedding Bells BREWER—COOK Clunes Methodist Church was the scene of a pretty wedding on November 3, when Eleanor Irene, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Cook, of Nashua, was married to Wilfred Cecil, second son of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Brewer, of Rappville. The Rev. F. Paton, assisted by Rev. Keeling, of Casino, performed the ceremony. The church was beautifully decorated by friends of the bride, and Mrs. W. A. James, Nashua, presided at the organ. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father, was daintily attired in ivory orlanette, cut on classical lines, ankle length, trimmed with hand faggotting and with inlets of lace on sleeves, while she wore a shoulder posy of orange blossoms and a wreath and veil. Her sheaf bouquet consisted of white gladioli, madonna lilies, pink carnations and sacred palm, tied with white satin streamers to a cascade of white and mauve orchids. Miss Vera Keevers, friend of the bride, and Miss Marcia Cook, cousin, were bridesmaids, while the little flower girls were Misses Audrey and Norma Cook niece and cousin, respectively, of the bride. The bridesmaids were dressed alike in lemon organdi, worn ankle length, with shoulder ruffles and frills on skirts. They also wore necklaces of crystals, gifts from the bridegroom, and carried sheafs of mauve foxgloves, ixias and statice, with sacred palm, tied with mauve streamers. Each little flower girl looked charming in mauve organdi made Victorian style and satin shoes to tone, while they also wore a head dress of mauve tulle with rosebud trimmings and carried baskets of flowers consisting of golden gleam nasturtiums, spartium and maiden hair fern, tied together with lemon streamers. Their gifts from the bridegroom were gold, initialled brooches. The bride's dress was made by her aunt and cousin, Mrs. S. L. and Miss Pearl Cook, respectively, while each bouquet was made and presented by Mrs. W. Stewart, of Nashua. Mr. Wilbur Cook, brother of the bride, was best man and Mr. George Keevers was groomsman. During the signing of the register Mrs. S. L. Cook sang "All Joy be Thine,” while at the reception vocal items were rendered by Mrs. A. J. Keevers, Miss Vera Keevers, Miss E. Honey, and Miss Audrey Cook and were very much appreciated by all. A large number of guests assembled at the Clunes Coronation Hall for the reception and were received by the bride's mother, assisted by Mrs. A. E. Brewer, the former wearing a smart navy, tailored costume with grey hat, and carrying a posy of red azaleas and anemones, tied amidst maiden hair fern, with red satin streamers. Mrs. Brewer wore black crepe de chine, with Georgette trimmings and black hat, and carrying a posy of red roses and maiden hair fern tied with red satin streamers. The tables were tastefully decorated in lemon and mauve shades, while the three tier wedding cake, iced and ornamented by Miss Hazel Honey, of Nashua, held pride of place. The bridegroom's gift to the bride was a gold wristlet watch and the bride's gift to the bridegroom a set of toilet brushes. Later the newly married couple left by car for Brisbane and Eumundi, the bride's travelling frock being brown, printed crepe de chine and hat and shoes to tone. She also wore a swagger coat of brown marocain with diagonal trimmings. Prior to her marriage the bride was entertained at a kitchen and linen tea, where she was the recipient of a large array of useful presents. Mr. and Mrs. Brewer's future home will be at Rappville. ;Groom=Wilfred Cecil Brewer1 |
