Wedding Bells. BAYLISS - PICKETT. (From our Correspondent.) A quiet but pretty wedding was celebrated in the Church of England, Rylstone, when the Rev. H. Vale joined in the holy bonds of matrimony Mr. Edward Bayliss, third son of Mr. Thos. Bayliss, of Camboon, and Miss Janet Pickett, of Summer Hill. The bride, who was given away by her father, was beautifully attired in a dress of white cashmere trimmed with white silk, lace and lillies of the valley and prettily strapped with lute ribbon and she also wore the orthodox wreath and veil and carried a pretty bouquet of white daisies. Mr. Sydney Bayliss officiated as best man, and Miss Hilda, sister of the bride, was head bridesmaid, and looked very pretty in a dress of cream voile with transparent yoke and sleeves, pale blue sash and wore a chip hat trimmed with pale blue silk and forget-me-nots and carried a pretty floral bouquet with blue streamers. Misses Alma and Ruth, both sisters of the bride, were also in attendance, and wore cream nun's veiling prettily tucked and strapped in diamonds of silk and lute ribbon, chip hats trimmed with white silk and pale blue quills, and also carried floral bouquets with pale blue and white streamers. The bridal party, amid showers of rice, returned to the residence of the bride's parents where a sumptuous breakfast was partaken of. Mr. A. Bayliss proposed the health of the bride and bridegroom, the bridegroom responding. The health of the bridesmaids was then proposed. Several songs were rendered during the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Bayliss then left for their home, amid the good wishes of their many friends. The bride was the recipient of many pretty and useful presents.
