JENSEN-WARD.
ATHERTON, Nov. 28. A pretty wedding was solemnised at the Church of England, Atherton, to-day, when Greta Dorothea, daughter of Mrs. Ward and the late Mr.
H. Ward, of Atherton, was married to Henry Charles Jensen, of Cairns. The Rev. Bro Peyton, performed the ceremony. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr. H. M. Ward, and maided by Misses Agnes Bock and Gladys Neary. Two tiny girls, Lorna Johns and Gwennie
Andrews were sweetly pretty flower
girls. The bridegroom was supported by Mr Robert Ward, brother of the bride. The wedding took place at 11 a.m. The bride looked extremely graceful as she entered the church on the arm of her brother. She wore white duchess satin beautifully trimmed with pin tucks and inlet with angel skin lace. The Eliza-
bethan corsage with full sleeves was
of angel skin lace. She wore white
satin shoes and hose. Her veil, which
was embroidered tulle was lent for the occasion by Mrs Forrester, of Herberton. It was gathered to her hair with a wreath of orange buds and bloom. She wore a choker and earrings of cut crystal, and carried a big bouquet of white roses, carnations and asparagus fern tied with satin streamers. The two
bridesmaids wore pale blue mariette
frilled over satin, with tiny puff sleeves and wide skirts. Blue mittens and wide blue picture hats of fancy straw finished with velvet fowers blue crystals and white velvet shoes made their costumes most attractive. The flower girls wore Victorian frocks in pink mariette frilled from waist to toe. Their hair was banded with pink velvet flowers and their baskets, trimmed with pink carnations, Dorothy Perkins roses and fern. The bridesmaids carried carnations and roses in pink and
white. Mrs E. H. Ward mother of the bride, wore mastic georgette becomingiy inset with ecru lace and worn with a big mastic straw hat.
After the ceremony the wedding party adjourned to the upstairs dining room of the Dorothy Café. Pink roses and fern were arched over the three-tièr wedding cake and finished with two big white wedding bells.
The four-tier cake was made by Mrs.
Ward and iced at Grainger's. Roses
and gladioli massed in vases made
up the rest of the table decorations.
At the conclusion of a dainty repast
a short toast list was dealt with, Mr.
I. R. Crouch presiding.
After the singing of grace and the
honoring of the Loyal toast Mr. J.
McConnell proposed the health of
"The Bride and Bridegroom" with many pleasant references to the young couple and many good wishes which were echoed by the whole of the company which sang "For they are Jolly Good Fellows" with enthusiasm. The groom responded. Mr.
Jensen then proposed the toast of
"The Bridesmaids". Mr. R. Ward responded on their behalf . Mr Andrews proposed The health of "The Mother of the Bride" and Mr H. M. Ward, responded. Mr. C Nielsen proposed the toast for "The Parents of the Bridegroom," who were unfortunately absent. Mr. L. R. Crouch, before asking for the final toast, said: "Ever since I first came to Atherton I have known the Wards. I think a great deal of Mr. Jensen's judgment. Sometimes when we are enjoying ourselves at these functions we are apt to forget the sacredness of the step that is being taken. It makes us feel very pleased to think that these two young people have
decided to undertake the difficult
journey of life in this happy way.
May life give them the best."
Mr. J. R. Malcolm, proposed the
toast of "Absent Friend"".
The cutting of the cake concluded
the breakfast. Before leaving for
Cairns the bride changed into an
elegant frock of royal blue elephant
skin crepe with a smart hat of straw,
a handbag and shoes to tone.
The honeymoon will be spent in Townsville and Sydney, and the couple will reside in Cairns on their return.
The bride's gift to the groom was a pair of gold sleeve links, and the groom presented the bride with a white cut crystal choker and earrings.
From the bridegroom, the two little
flower girls received gold bangles;
Miss Gladys Neary received a pretty
handbag and Miss Agnes Bock, a
crystal necklet.
