WEDDING
Mills-Toynton
A wedding of local interest took
place recently at St. Andrew's Pres-
byterian Church, Manly, when Thelma
Mary, younger daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. G. H. Toynton, of 'Spring
View,' Molong, was married to Jack
Eric, third son of Mr. and Mrs. H. J.
Mills, of Manly, and formerly of Tot-
tenham.
The officiating clergyman, Rev. W.
Harrison, is an old friend of the
bride's family, and will be remem-
bered by many in Molong and district.
The bride, who entered the church
on the arm of her father, looked
charming in a classical gown of white
cloque designed by Miss Shirley Pat-
terson, of Manly, and made by Miss
Coral Rothery, of Molong.
The tulle veil, lent by Mrs. Ray
Mills, was held in place by a cur-
vette of orange blossoms. She car-
ried an all-white shower bouquet.
Mrs. B. McEvoy, sister of the bride,
was matron of honor, and the bride's
cousin, Miss Betty Toynton, acted as
bridesemaid. Her niece, little Pat-
ricia Toynton, in the role of flower
girl, looked sweet in a gown of white
marquisette over taffeta, and carried
a basket of pink hyacinths, carnations
and delphiniums. Her headdress was
of pink hyacinths.
The matron of honor wore a draped
gown of blue moss crepe, while that
of the bridesmaid's was pink of the
same material. Their short veils,
which matched their frocks, were held
by coronets of blue and pink cya-
cinths.
They carried early Victorian posies
of pink carnations, stocks, hyacinths
and delphiniums. Each wore a string
of pearls, gifts of the groom, and the
flower girl a gold bangle.
The bride's present to the groom
was a travelling rug, while that of
the bridegroom to the bride was a
handsome handbag.
The presents were numerous and
costly, and included many cheques
THE RECEPTION
The groom was attended by his
brothers, Messrs, Eddie and Ray Mills.
During the signing of the register,
Miss Winifred Marshall, an ex-AWAS
friend of the bride, sang 'O Promise
Me.'
After the ceremony, about 50
guests attended the reception at the
Sonning, Manly. They were received
by the bride's mother, who chose a
grey costume with black accessories
and a spray of red carnations. She
was assisted by the groom's mother.
Mrs. Mills, wearing a blue ensemble
offset by a spray of orchids.
The Rev. Harrison occupied the
chair, and the usual toasts were
honored.
Following the cutting of the two-
tiered cake made by the bride's
mother, and beautifully decorated by
Miss J. Hull, of Molong, dancing was
enjoyed by all.
Miss Marshall capably rendered two
songs, 'Because' and 'My Hero.'
The honeymoon was spent at Fors-
ter on the North Coast, the bride
travelling in a blue suit with black
accessories.
The future home of the newly-wed
couple will be at Guyra.
