The bridesmaid, Miss Guyatt, was prettily dressed in silk crepe, and carried a handsome bouquet of dahlias, cosmos and maiden hair fern. Mr. H. J. Skinner acted as best man. The Chapel was very nicely decorated for the occasion, and when the bridal party entered the building, the church choir sang "The Voice that Breathed o'er Eden," Mr. R. Marshall officiating at the organ. Mr. H. M. Clipstone, Evangelist of the Church of Christ, was the officiating clergyman, and the service was admired by a large gathering of friends and relatives. As the party left the building the organist played the Wedding March, and the friends showered the bride and groom with confetti. The party then went to "Myrtlewood," the residence of Mr. Kellow, where a splendid wedding breakfast was partaken of, and after three sittings the usual toasts were honored. Mr. Colliver, of Shepparton, was present, and photographed the party in different attitudes, and after many hearty handshakes, good wishes, good humored joking and clouds of confetti, the train carried the happy couple on their way to the metropolis, where they will spend their honeymoon, and then they will go to their future home at Carwarp, near Mildura, where Mr. Brown has taken up land.
