Wedding Bells BOOTHBY-WATTS - WEISS. A quiet and pretty wedding was celebrated at Campsie on Saturday, July 19, by the Rev. G. M. Bull, when Doris, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. Weis, of "Fairfield," Dunedoo, was married to James, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Boothby-Watts, of Tyndale, Clarence River. The bride who, in the absence of her father was given away by her brother-in-law, Mr. W. Lewis, was charmingly attired in a draped frock of white morocain, caught at the side with a diamond buckle and wore the customary wreath and veil. She carried a shower bouquet of white roses, sweet peas, and lilies of the valley which, with a diamond brooch, were the gifts of the bridegroom. The bridesmaid, Miss Daisy Weis, wore blue georgette and carried a posy of pink carnations and sweet peas which with a xylonite set, were the gifts of the groom. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. Cecil Lascelles, of Bondi. The bride's gift to the bridegroom was a gold watch, suitably inscribed. Mrs. W. Lewis, who was attired in a brown morocain frock, received the guests at her home where the reception was held. After the usual toasts had been honored the happy couple left by the evening train for Katoomba, where the honeymoon is being spent, the bride travelling in a navy-tailored frock and hat to match.
