WEDDING BELLS.
BROOKS? CREAM.
A very pretty wedding that created a good deal of interest was celebrated on April 10th at St. Paul's Church Orroroo, South Australia, when Gladys Heathcote Cream, youngest daughter of Mrs. Cream and the late John Cream, of Geraldton, Western Atralia, was joined in the holy bonds of matrimony to Frank Dempter Brooks, formerly of Orroroo, and now of Parwinge Station near Whyalla (S.A.).
The weather conditions were ideal and at noon the big muster of cars outside the Church and the crowd within were eloquent testimony as to the popularity of the happy couple. The church was decorated with flowers, pampas grass and greenery. M. Pfitzner presided at the organ and the ceremony was performed by the Rev. R. M. Dunn.
To the strains of the Bridal March the bride entered the church on the arm of her brother-in- law, Mr. R. C. Ford (a former resident of Geraldton). The bride's raiment was a cream creation trimmed with white fur and chennelle with a hat to match, while her bridesmaid (Miss Jean Ford) was robed in pink silk. The bride's bouquet consisted of white cactus dahlias and tuberose's, and the bridesmaid's of pink roses and carnations.
The groom was supported by Mr. Redvers. While the party were signing the register in the vestry, Mrs. Davis rendered a solo in good voice. A goodly crowd assembled outside and showered confetti on the happy couple as they left the church. Among those present was the bride's mother, who made the trip from Western Australia, and was clad in black crepe-de-chene with trimmings and hat to match. Mrs. Brooks (Adelaide) also wore black crepe-de-chene. Mrs. R. C. Ford (sister of the bride) was gowned in green jac quarc trimmed with black fur and hat to match. After the ceremony a reception was held at 'Obanooka,' the residence of the bride's sister, with whom she has lived for some time.
About fifty guests sat down to luncheon in the dining hall and the usual toasts were honored. At about 3 p.m. the couple left per car for a ramble for a few days, afterwards making a bee line tor the bride's 'new home at Parwingie Station.
The bridegroom's present to the bride was a handsome xylonite dressing case. From the bride to the bridegroom a
