GREER-BOGE
An exceedingly pretty, stylish, and popular wedding was solemnised in St Paul's Church, Taabinga Village road, on Wednesday afternoon. The contracting parties being Mr Thomas Greer, and Miss Ethel Boge, second daughter of Mrs M. Boge.
A large party of guests and friends assembled to witness the ceremony was conducted by Reverend W. C. Wigram. The church was charmingly decorated for the occasion with archings and festoons of white and red roses, and above the bride there hung a beautiful floral bell. The bride was escorted to the alter by her brother, Mr A. Boge, and he also gave her away. The bridesmaids were Misses K. Boge, L. Greer, Hilda and Lily Boge. The bridegroom was supported by Mr R. Green, as best man, and Mr W. Greer, as groomsman.
Miss Woodward presided at the organ and played the wedding hymn on the bride's entry and the wedding march on her departure from the church.
When the wedding ceremony was over the party drove to Akesson's Hall to partake of the wedding feast. Somewhere about 80 guests sat at the tables, the majority of them family relations living in the district, and many of them, too, old time Mary River dwellers. After the customary felicitous speeches, the happy and handsome couple drove to Kingaroy and boarded the evening train en route to Gympie and Brisbane. They were plentifully showered with rice, and several fog signals gave them a parting salute.
