PERSONAL.

A very pretty wedding was solemnised at the Bourke-street Methodist Church on February 15th by the Rev. F. Colwell. The contracting parties were Thos. Henry, eldest son of. Mr. and Mrs. James Sawyer, of Dubbo, and Ivy Stella, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Austin, of Chatswood. The bride was given away by her father. She wore the usual wreath and veil, and carried a shower bouquet, the gift of the bride groom. Her sister Ruby acted as bridesmaid. Mr. George Lean acted as best man. As the bride entered the church the "Wedding March" was played, and during the signing of the register Miss Varra Latcham sang Because." After the ceremony the party adjourned to the Lyceum Cafe, where the wedding breakfast was served. Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer left by car for the Mountains, where the honeymoon will be spent. Their future home will be at Dubbo.— "Methodist.-" ^[2]
