Much interest was evinced in the marriage of Miss Agnes Heather Edwards, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.J. Edwards, of Ormond, and Mr. John C., Buckley, second son of Mr. and Mrs. R.D. Buckley, of Pine View, Glenlee, which was celebrated in the Presbyterian Church, Ormond, at 4.30 p.m. on August 11.

The church was simply and artistically decorated with pink blossom, white genista, and gypsophila by friends of the Presbyterian Girls’ Fellowship.  Miss Dorothy Williams presided at the organ and as the bridal party entered the church the marriage hymn “The Voice That Breathed O’er Eden” was sung.

The bride who was given away by her father, wore a simple gown of ivory ring velvet with a train of white tulle underlined with palest pink over which fell a pretty embroidered tulle veil finished with a wreath of orange blossom, and carried a beautiful shower bouquet of white azalea, pink and white heather and fern.

The bridesmaids, Misses Linda Bradford, Melva Warren (cousin of the bride) and Merva (sister of the bride) wore pretty frocks of white windswept satin with cowl collars of apple green, and carried bouquets of pale pink roses, heather and fern.

The two little train-bearers (Olive Edwards and June Coates) looked sweet in their long frocks of apple green windswept satin and wore hair bands of pink blossom.

Marcelle Edwards (sister of the bride) also made a charming little figure in her long frock of apple green windswept satin and led the wedding party carrying a beautiful white satin cushion on which the bride knelt at the altar.

The bride’s mother (Mrs. W.J. Edwards) wore a lovely frock of black Georgette and lace with a short jacket of new crinkled gold lame with hat to tone and carried a bouquet of pink carnations and fern.  The bridegroom’s mother (Mrs. R.D. Buckley) looked charming in a gown of black Georgette and lace with a smart coat of black ring velvet and hat to match and carried a bouquet of carnations and fern.

The duties of the best man were carried out by Mr. Percy Warren and Messrs. Jack and Cliff Schultz officiated as groomsmen.  The Rev. J.G. Scarfe performed the ceremony.

Mr. and Mrs. Edwards and Mr. and Mrs. Buckley received their guests at Prunier’s Café, Melbourne where the reception was held.  The catering was capably carried out by Mr.  W. Wakefield.

Mr. Asser presided at the wedding breakfast and after the loyal toast was honoured, telegrams of congratulations were read from Goroke, Hamilton and Gerang.  Mr. Asser, in proposing the health of the bride and bridegroom, wished them every success.  The bridegroom suitably responded.  Other toasts were honoured in the usual way.  Vocal and musical items were rendered during the evening.

The bride travelled in a frock of maroon velvet with grey coat and hat.

The bridegroom’s gift to the bride was a gold wristlet watch, and the bride’s gift to the bridegroom a wristlet watch, and to the bridesmaids, dainty necklets, to the train-bearers, gold armlets.

The honeymoon was spent at Marysville.
