Wedding Bells.

MOGG-RUSH. A large gathering took place at the Guntawang Church of England on Wednesday, the 5th ultimo, when the Rev. F. E. Haviland united in matrimonial bonds, Miss Rush, daughter of Mr. Charles Rush, of "Fairview," Two Mile Flat, and Mr. Herbert Mogg, manager of the Burrundulla Butter Factory. At two o'clock the bride, who looked very lovely, and was beautifully attired in white broche satin, trimmed with silk embroidered chiffon, tulle veil (caught with a gold wishbone charm) and orange blossoms, entered the church, which was tastefully decorated, on the arm of her father, followed by her sister, Miss Edith Rush, as bridesmaid, who, dressed in a pretty grey cashmere, with white satin and rich cream overall, lace trimmings, and black chiffon toque, came in for a share of admiration, second only to that bestowed upon the bride. Both the bride and bridesmaids wore gifts of the bridegroom, that to the bride being a handsome gold watch and chain, and to the bridesmaid, a gold brooch set with rubies. The bride carried a magnificent shower bouquet, the gift and work of Miss Spies, who deserves a special deed of praise for her truly artistic taste. The church could scarcely contain the number present to view the ceremony, and, when the matrimonial chain was finally linked, the happy couple were assailed with showers of rice, leaves, etc. As soon as they had taken leave of their many friends, the bride and bridegroom drove to Probert's Hotel, and, having partaken of an excellent repast, left by the evening train for Katoomba, en route for Sydney, where the greater part of the honeymoon was spent. The bride's travelling costume was a dress of purple silk voile, trimmed with cream satin, overall lace and guipure, and she wore a toque to match. Bridegroom to Bride...Gold watch and chain.
