The marriage of Miss Millicent Pead, third daughter of Mrs. A. Pead, of Geraldton, to Mr. John Enright, of Peak Hill, Mnrchison goldfields, took place at Christ Church, at
3 30 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon last, the Rev. Canon Louch officiating, and Mr. Ottaway acting as best man.
The bride, who was given away by her brother-in-law, Mr. S.
Haddy (says the express), wore a handsome gown of grey and with train, full bodice and sleeves, and a beautiful chiffon hat, trimmed with ostrich feathers. .
The brides maids, Misses Gracie and Tottie Pead, sisters of the bride, in pretty pink silk frocks, with hats to match, and the Misses Cream, cousins of the bride, in heliotrope silk, made a very charming picture. Mrs. A. Pead, the mother of the bride, was attired in a rich dress of Irish poplin, with a bonnet to match.
After the ceremony, the wedding party drove to the residence of the bride's mother, where cake and wine were partaken of by a number of invited guests . A largely-attended dance was held in the Masonic Hall in the evening to celebrate the event. The wedding presents, we learn, were both numerous and costly. [1]
