  Cootamundra Herald (NSW : 1877 - 1954) Fri 9 Jun 1944 Page 2 WEDDING FORSYTH-INGOLD The Methodist Church, Cootamundra, was the scene of a very pretty wedding on May 24- that of Dorothy May, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Ingold, "Sunshine,'' Cullinga, and Driver Alton, A.I.F., second son of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Forsyth, "Braeside," Wallendbeen. Rev. A. S. Bohanna officiated. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father, to the strains of the "Wedding March," played by Mr. Vic Boxsell at the organ, looked charming in a gown of white satin, cut on classical lines, with a train and a beautifully embossed silk veil, held in place by a heart-shaped coronet of orange blossom and lace. She carried a bouquet of white dahlias and pink carnations, and wore a pendant which was her father's bridal gift to her mother. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Phyllis Ingold, and her friend, Miss Annie Brown, wearing pink lace frocks over taffeta, with blue embossed veils, and carrying bouquets of sweet peas and gerberas. Mr. Roland Forsyth attended his brother as best man, and Mr. Garnet Forsyth, also a brother of the bride groom, acted as groomsman. The bride's mother, assisted by Mrs. W. L. Forsyth, mother of the bride groom, received about sixty guests at Scots Hall, where the reception was daintily prepared by the Presbyterian Ladies' Guild. The usual toasts were honored. When proposing the toast of the parents of the bride and bridegroom, Mr. R. H. Sweeney referred to the grand parents and great-grand-parents, who were all pioneers of this district, and well known for their stirling qualities. The presents included many cheques, and numerous telegrams were received. The happy couple left for Sydney, where the honeymoon was spent, the bride travelling in a dusty pink frock, with brown accessories. The bride's and bridesmaids' frocks were made by the bride's sister.
