  North-Eastern Advertiser (Scottsdale, Tas. : 1909 - 1954) Tuesday 7 September 1948 p 3 Article WEDDING FORSYTH - DIPROSE A very pretty wedding was celebrated at St. Andrew's Pres- byterian Church, Legerwood, on Saturday, night when Rev. R. E. Beckett officiated at the wedding of Elvie Ena, twin daughter of Mr and Mrs R. T. Diprose, 'Carisbrook,' Legerwood, with Albert Mervyn, eldest son of Mr and Mrs A. Forsyth, Talawa. Mrs Beckett was organist. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a graceful, full-trained frock of poinsettia, silk lace over satin, featuring a fitting corselette waist, and Peter Pan collar finished at the neck with a tiny satin bow. The long sleeves were pointed at the wrists and buttoned with tiny, satin-covered buttons, with which the back was also buttoned from neck to hip-line. The cut tulle veil was held in place by a double coronet of orange blossom, and the shower bouquet was of white hyacinths, Christmas roses, and maiden-hair fern. A charming old world model frock of shell-pink marquisette, daintily embossed with white was worn by the bridesmaid, Miss Ena Diprose, sister of the bride. The tight-fitting bodice featured: shirring at the wide-cut neck line, and a double row of frilling formed the sleeves, and also trimmed the bouffant skirt in pinafore style. A coronet of hyacinths and veiling comprised the head-dress, and the bouquet, was a posy of pink carnations and mainden-hair fern. Mr John Forsyth, brother of the bridegroom, was best man. During the signing of the register Mrs R. E. Beckett sang, accompanied by Mrs H. L. Ran son at the organ. The Church was beautifully decorated by friends of the bride. After the ceremony, 55 guests were entertained at 'Carisbrook' borne of the bride's parents, where a feature of the bridal table was an artistically three tiered wedding cake, made and presented by Mrs T. J. Berwick, and decorated by Miss Ellie Ber wick. Owing to the sudden illness of the bride's mother, her position as hostess was ably filled by her sister, Mrs C. W. Parsons, of Hobart, who wore beneath her perchaniki cape a black moss crepe frock, beaded at the neck line. Her black model hat was trimmed with tartan taffeta rib bon, and she wore a spray of pink carnations and maiden-hair fern. Black was also the main fea ture of the outfit worn by the bridegroom's mother. A smart, slim-fitting braided coat was worn over a silk frock and her up-turned hat was attractively trimmed with coloured feathers toning with her spray of pink and blue hyacinths. For travelling the bride chose a tailored Donegal tweed suit in brown tonings, with an apple green blouse buttoned at the neck, and an attractively feather ed toque. A green orchid was pinned to her lapel, and brown accessories were worn. The honeymoon is being spent touring the N.W. Coast and visit ing King Island. Mr and Mrs A. M. Forsyth will reside at Talawa.
