In the Australian Town and Country Journal we read that:[1]
A pretty wedding took place at Meranburn on the 4th instant, when Miss Eva Gosper (only daughter of Mr. James Gospor, of Meranburn) was united to Mr. J. G. Hawke, of Orange ; the Rev. M. Smith performing the ceremony in the presence of a large assemblage of friends at the residence of the bride's parents. Mr. E. W. Gosper acted as best man, and Miss E. Gosper, cousin of the bride, as bridesmaid. The bride was dressed in a costume of gobelin blue cashmere, richly trimmed with plush, wore a long tulle veil and wreath, and carried a handsome bouquet of white blossoms and maidenhair fern. Her bridesmaid wore pale blue cashmere trimmed with satin, pretty bonnet en suite, and carried a bouquet of mignonette and pansies. After the ceremony breakfast was served; and then the happy couple departed for Glen Luna, their future home, amid the congratulations of their friends. In the evening a dance was held and an enjoyable time spent by all who had the pleasure of being present.
