Wedding McALPINE—STAINES.
A pretty wedding was celebrated recently in the Methodist Church, Leichhardt, by the Rev. Mr. Hathgate, when Elizabeth, youngest daughter of Mr. William McAlpine, of Edinburgh, Scotland, was united in matrimony with Thomas Staines, late private of
the 2nd Battalion, A.I.F., and eldest son of Mr. J. C. Staines, of Canowindra.
After the ceremony the guests adjourned to the residence of Mrs. Power, aunt of the bride, where they sat down to a sumptuous breakfast, afterwards catching the train for
Canowindra — their future home.
The bridegroom's present to the bride was a gold bangle, and to the bridesmaid, a gold signet ring. There were numerous other presents.
