  The Cumberland Argus and Fruitgrowers Advocate (Parramatta, NSW : 1888 - 1950) Saturday 18 November 1899 Page 11 An Interesting Ryde Wedding On Wednesday afternoon the Wesleyan Church, Ryde, was the scene of a very pretty and interesting wedding, and one that created unusual interest among the villagers. The contracting parties were Mr. Edward H. Forsyth, eldest surviving; son of Mr. John Forsyth, of Gladesville road, Ryde, and Miss Folbigg, eldest sur viving daughter of the late Mr. Justus Folbigg, of Stevenage, Hertfordshire, Eng land. Mr. Edward Forsyth has only recently returned from a three years sojourn in the Golden West, and it was there that he met Miss Folbigg, who has also recently come over from West Australia. The interior of the church had been very prettily and even artistically decorated for the occasion, with white flowers and butter cups, by the young ladies of the congrega tion. The bride drove to the church, accompanied by her future father-in-law, Mr. John Forsyth, who gave her away, Mr. J. W. Donaldson being best man. The important ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. H. Beale, and Miss Short played the Wedding March as the young couple left the church. There was a very large attendance at the church, and the bride looked very charming and happy in a neat fitting and particularly becoming costume of white silk zephyr, with court train, trimmed with orange blossoms and chiffon, and she also wore the customary wreath and veil. The bridesmaids were Miss Elsie and Miss Florrie Forsyth, sisters of the bridegroom who also appeared to advantage in-pretty costumes of white silk zephyr trimmed with chiffon and buttercup hats to match. They likewise carried beautiful bouquets, the product of Rosewall, and each wore a gold brooch and gold ring set with rubies and pearls, the gifts of the bridegroom. Immediately after the ceremony the newly married couple, amid showers of confetti, and with the best wishes of all assembled ringing in their ears drove to 'Rosewall,' the well-known residence of the bride groom's parents, where a reception was held and light refreshments par- taken of, the guests numbering about 50. The bride and bridegroom were after wards photographed on the lawn, as were also the members, of the bridegroom's family and visitors. Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Forsyth said Au Bevoir but not good bye to Rosewall and its numerous occupants about 7 o'clock, and drove direct to- their new and beautiful home at. Mossman's. It is a handsome villa residence and together with the furniture was given to the fortunate bridegroom as a marriage gift by his grandfather. The other wedding presents, which were costly and handsome, combining use and ornament, were so numerous that they occupied most of the space in one of the spacious rooms of Rosewall, and were greatly admired by the assembled guests. Mrs. J. Forsyth, mother of the bride was attired in a pretty black silk grenadine trimmed with white satin chiffon, and she wore a white satin and rose pink bonnet with black tips and jewel ornaments. Among the guests were : ? Mrs. R. Forsyth, sen., black brocade, passementerie and white chiffon trimmings; Mrs. R. Forsyth, jun., floral silk and handsome toque to match ; Mrs. Hellingworth, black silk costume, black and white bonnet; Mrs. Barton, black silk ; Mrs. Coulter, pea green shot silk ; Miss Coulter, floral muslin, her sister, apricot colored viole costume and cream silk ; Miss Forsyth, light green lustre with point lace; Mrs. W.
