RUBIE – FROGLEY WEDDING NOTICE
Molong Express 19-3-1904
Our Garra correspondent reports: a very pretty and interesting wedding was solemnised in St. Andrew’s Church on Wednesday last week, when Mr A. Rubie (youngest son of the late Mr John Rubie of Garra) and Miss E. Frogley (youngest and only single daughter of Mr R. Frogley, senr. and also of Garra) were joined together in holy wedlock. The Rev. Canon Alldis performed the ceremony in the presence of a large circle of friends of the Bride and Bridegroom, the church being artistically decorated with floral arch and wedding bell, flowers and other emblems of good wishes, in honour of the event.
The Bride, who was given away by her father, gracefully attired in cream-figured silk beautifully shirred and trimmed with lace, and with a veil and wreath of orange blossoms, the wearer looked the ideal Bride. The bridesmaids were four in number viz, Miss Ada Burgess, Miss Kate Burgess, Miss Laura Frogley and Miss Vera Frogley, all of whom wore white muslin dresses, lace trimmings, blue sashes and white Leghorn hats. The Bridegroom was attended by his nephew, Mr E. Willmott as best man.
After the ceremony a reception was held at Mr B. Frogley’s residence, where fully 150 persons sat down and partook of the wedding breakfast, which was most tastefully served up. The Rev. Canon Alldis, in proposing the health of the Bride and Bridegroom, made feeling reference to his long acquaintance with them both and wished them a long and happy wedded life. The bridegroom responded. Several other toasts were honoured and later on the happy couple drove to Manildra, from whence they took the train to the “City of the Plains”, where the honeymoon is being spent.
