The bridesmaid was prettily dreseed in hailstone muslin, tastefully tucked and trimmed with lace. The bridegroom's gift to the bridesmaid was a gold brooch with name engraved, and to the bride a handsome jewelled gold brooch. The bride's gift to the bridegroom was a gold ring. The numerous friends of the happy couple were entertained at afternoon tea, when the Rev. O. K. Hewlett proposed the health of the bride, which was heartily responded to. The bridegroom proposed the bridesmaid, and the best man replied. The health of Mr and Mrs Tidd and Mr William Douglas were duly proposed and responded to. The wedding cake was cut and dispensed by Miss Prosser. The bride and bridegroom were the recipients of many handsome and useful presents. Later on in the evening the happy couple retired to their home, a new house prettily situated on the terrace which forms part of the "Arthur Estate," leaving the others to enjoy a pleasant dance in the room popularly known as Tidd's Ranfurly Hall. The tin-kettlers mustered in full force, but they evidently went too far in throwing things on the roofs of the houses.
