A very pretty and fashionable wedding was celebrated at St John;s Church, Parramatta, on the 22nd untimo, when Mr C W Purnell son of the late C N Purnell (once of Windsor) led to the altar Miss Marcia Pratt, second daughter of Mr. W. Pratt of Parramatta. The church had been tastefully decorated, and about 200 friends of the happy pair assembled to witness the ceremony which was performed by the Venerable Archdeacon Gunther. The bride entered the church leaning on the arm of her father, and looked charming in a gown of cream floral lustre, cream silk and orange blossoms with wreath and veil to match, and carried a large shower boquet. She was accompanied to the altar by four bridesmaids - Miss Pratt and Miss Purnell (in costumes of crepe de chine with silk lace and eau de nil trimmings, carrying beautiful shower boqusts) and the two little Misses Ford (Ruby and Hilda) in cream silk dresses with eau de nil trimmings and picture hats en suite, and carrying baskets of flowers. These, with the other bouquests, were the gifts of the bridegroom. The best man was Mr S. Ford (Annandale), and the groomsmen Mr P.C. Watt, B.A. (Newcastle) and Mr. J. Roach. The happy couple left the church amid showers of rice, rose leaves and slippers. A sumptuous breakfast awaited the guests at the residence of the bride's parents, whena bout 50 sat down, and after justice had been done to the good things provided, "The Bride and Bridegroom" was proposed by Mr. Frazer and responded to by the bridegroom. Other toasts were also honoured in bumpers. A dance was held in the evening, when about 80 guests were present. The bride's travelling dress was electric blue shot silk, brocade trimmings, with hat en suite.
