Narrative

WEDDING IN LITHGOW.
A nice little wedding — in which much interest on the part of relatives and friends centred — took place at the Methodist church, Mort-street, on Saturday afternoon.

The principals were Mr. Ernest George Sheppeard and Miss Charlotte Mayfield, both of Lithgow.

The Rev. J. E. Metcalfo, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Branch, performed the pleasing duty of " making the two one." The bride, who looked really nice, was conducted to the altar by her father, who " gave her away" to her future husband.

She was attired in a pretty costume of grey poplin, trimmed with white silk and chiffon ; white hat to match ; in her hand she carried a bouquet of choice flowers, and from her neck hung gracefully a gold muff chain — both gifts of the bridegroom.
The bridesmaids were Miss Rose Orchard (cousin of the bridegroom) and Miss Amelia Mayfield (sister of the bride). These young ladies were made the recipients, at the hands of the bridegroom, as mementos of the occasion, of a gold brooch each.
Mr. Sidney Sheppeard had the honour of filling the position of " best man."

After all wore satisfied that the knot had been faithfully and securely tied, the newly-married couple, together with invited guests, repaired to the Protestant-hall, where the mother and step-father of the bridegroom (Mrs. and Mr. W. McGann) had arranged a tempting wedding breakfast.
The hall had received kindly consideration at the hands of tasteful decorators, while upon the platform a large table displayed a collection of useful and ornamental presents sufficient to gladden the hearts of any young couple just about to set up housekeeping.
In the centre of the long table, just opposite the seat allotted the bride, stood the inevitable, though always attractive, wedding cake— three " decks" high.

A little after six some 50 or 60 persons sat down, and, with as little delay as possible after grace had been said, a tremendous " frontal attack " took place, and the edibles fell a ready prey to the " devouring enemy."

The Rev. Mr. Metcalfe sat at one end of the table and Rev. Mr. Branch at the other. As soon as feasting had been got fairly well through with,
Mr. W. Dawson proposed, in kindly and fatherly terms, the " Health of the Bride and Bridegroom." The toast met with a hearty response and vocal honours.

Mr. Sheppeard returned thanks on behalf of himself and wife. Rev. Mr. Metcalfe proposed " Our Host and Hostess" in a hearty and facetious style, and Mr. McGann responded. Rev. Mr. Branch proposed " Health to the Bridesmaids," giving homely and sound advice, punctuated by shafts of humour.

By request Mr. Northoy proposed " The Health of the Bride's Parents." ' Mr. J. Mayfield (now resident in Sydney) had resided in Lithgow for 16 years, during which time he had been connected with the railway department, and had always enjoyed the respect and esteem of his fellow citizens.

Mr. Mayfield responded, and Mr. Dawson proposed.
"The Press," which was acknowledged by the MERCURY representative.
The room was cleared and dancing, singing, and reciting whirled away the time till the train left for Sydney, when Mr. and Mrs. Sheppeard will spend a week, or so before settling in their now home in Lithgow.
