A CRUDINE WEDDING "Rosehill," Crudine, was the scene of a pretty, and interesting wedding, when Florence Marion, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton W. Lowe, of "Rosehill," and Herbert James, second son of Mr. and Mrs. James Rayner, of "Eastwood," Gulgamree near Mudgee, were married by Rev. Mr. Homfray, of Portland. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a charming gown of ivory chiffon charmeuse satin, richly trimmed with shadow lace, crystal beads and tiny pearls. The skirt was beautifully draped, and a long court train hung gracefully from the waist, embroidered with pearls and sprays of orange blossoms. She wore tho customary wreath and veil, and carried a shower bouquet of white petunias, carnations, lillies of the valley and ferns. Miss Ruby Lowe (sister of the bride) as chief bridesmaid wore a pretty frock of shell pink silk crepe, with trimmings of spangled net, pink ninon and brilliants. Miss Rayner (sister of the bridegroom) wore a pretty frock of white silk, trimmed with point lace, satin, ribbon and pearls. They carried bouquets of pale pink carnations, pink hydrangeas and ferns. Mr. A. Cox acted as best man and Mr. W. Lowe as groomsman. The bride was the recipient of a handsome pearl and tourmaline pendant, and the bridesmaids Nell Stewart bangles. The bride's gift to the bridegroom was a pair of gold sleeve links. After the wedding breakfast they left for their future home in Hurstville. The bride travelled in a nattier blue sponge cloth coat and skirt, trimmed with satin and fancy buttons. Her hat of golden tulle, trimmed with nattier blue ribbon and clusters of tiny pink roses, completed a smart toilette. The presents were many and costly, and included several cheques.
