Wedding at West Jindalee.
CRANFIELD - LOITERTON.
A very interesting wedding took place at West Jindalee last Wednesday after noon. The contracting parties were Mr. Arthur John Cranfield, of Cootamundra, son of Mr. Charles Cranfield, of Camden, and Miss Charlotte Rose Loiterton, the youngest daughter of Mr. Charles Loiterton, of Lincolnville, West Jindalee. There was a large assembly of relatives, and a few intimate, and old friends of the families. The officiating minister was the Rev. J. K. Turner, of the Methodist Church, both families being long identified with Methodism. The bridal ceremony was performed in the drawing room at Lincolnville, into which the bride entered, escorted by her father. The bride looked charming, robed in cream silk voile, with guipure lace, ribbons and orange blossoms. She wore a beautiful gold chain and heart pendant, the gift of the bridegroom, and carried a bouquet of Christmas lillies and carnations. The attendant bridesmaids were three neices of the bride? Miss Nellie Loiterton, of Stockinbingal, dressed in green, and the Misses Phyllis and Ethel Mutch, attired in cream voile, each wearing a gold brooch presented by the bridegroom. The bridegroom was attended by his brother, Mr. Thomas Henry Cranfield. After signing the customary documents, and receiving hearty congratulations, the whole party adjourned to the dining room, where they sat down to a wedding breakfast served in the very best and most up-to-date style. The numerous gathering round that ban quet table, of parents, children, and grandchildren, with visitors added on the occasion of a wedding feast, made a truly vivid and brilliant scene. It was a proud and happy hour for the aged parents. After doing ample justice to that richly laden table, and indulging in the merri ment of conversation, retailing stories, cracking jokes, and roars of laughter, and also partaking of the ever famous and time-honoured wedding cake, a few toasts were submitted. First came the toast of 'The bride and bridegroom,' proposed by the minister, and responded to by the triumphant bridegroom. Then came the toast of ' The bridesmaids,' proposed by Mr. T. H. Cranfield, the best man, and spoken to by Mr. Armstrong (son-in-law). There followed the toast of " The parents," presented by the Rev. J. K. Turner, and feelingly replied to by Mr. Charles Loiterton, father of the bride. Mr. Cranfield, who is practically a new comer into our midst, has settled here in business, and is to be congratulated on winning as his wife one of the young ladies of an old and highly respected family of the Cootamundra district.
