  son John? Advocate (Burnie, Tas. : 1890 - 1954) Thu 1 Apr 1937 Page 5 WEDDING BELLS AT PENGUIN. Barren-Forsythe. (By "La Donna.") THE Methodist Church at Penguin was a decided centre of interest on Saturday, Easter Eve, on the occasion of the marriage of Beryl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Forsythe, of Pen guin, to Rev. Eric W. Barren, of the Methodist Church, Eltham, Victoria, son of the late Mr. Barren and of Mrs. Barren, Sandy Bay, Hobart. The ceremony was performed by a trio of ministers, Rev. E. E. Barnard being assisted by Rev. E. C. Bremer, of Devonport (chairman of the Mersey district), and Rev. A. Vineer, of Ulver stone. The church was decked with pink and white flowers by Mrs. A. J. Edwards and girl friends of the bride. A pro fusion of pink belladonna lilies and hydrangeas was used; and below a ca nopy of pink and white, a white wed ding bell hung from a floral archway of pink hydrangeas, softened with aspara gus fern. Mrs. J. Yaxley presided at the organ, and played "The Bridal March" from "Lohengrin" as the bride en tered the church. The service was choral, the nuptial hymn "O Perfect Love" and other selections being sung during proceedings, While the register was being signed Mr. V. R. Byard, of Wynyard, ren dered the solo, "Link Divine." Motored to the church by her uncle. Mr. Tim Smith, of Barrington, and escorted by her father, who gave her away, the bride, slender and dark-haired, was a charming picture in her classi cal gown of magnolia satin, modelled on the close-fitting lines of Empire style. The bodice was rucked to the front, and styled with a Peter Pan collar, spoke-stitched to match the long square train. Rows of tiny satin-covered but tons were carried down the back of tim bodice, and also trimmed the long fitting sleeves, ending in small peaks over the hands. Thc bridal veil was magnolia tin ted, and covered the long trnin with 'its cloud-like folds; and a lovely sheaf bouquet was carried. Made, by Mrs. Bramich, of Sunshine, Victoria (aunt of the bride), the chosen flowers were exouisite Christmas lilies, pink bella donna arnd amaryllis lilies, white roses, and Scotch heather. Gypsopbila and fern lightened the blooms, the whole' tied with long ribbons of magnolia sa tin. Dark-eyed Dorothy Vineer _ (Ulver stone) was a sweet little train-bearer in her ankle-length frock of magnolia tinted net, posed over a satin slip, and trimmed with dainty frills. A silver ribbon banded her dark hair. The bride knelt upon a bolster-shaped cushion of rucked magnolia satin, fin ished with long tassels of dusty pink (made and presented by her aunt, Mrs. Tim Smith, of Barrington). Three pink-clad attendants followed the bride. They were her sister, Miss Doreen Forsythe; her cousin. Miss Rene Smith (Barringinn), and Miss Mavis Porteus (Edith Creek). They were frocked alike in dusty nink matnna crepe, made on long slim lines. The neck lines .were marked with square yokes, while slashed openings at the back were fastened with diamente. Dainty posies trimmed the left shoulders, and silver shoes and hairbands were worn. The trio wore gold dress rings (pre sented by the bridegroom), and car ried sheaves of pink gladioli and bella donna lilies, lightened with trails of asparagus fern, and sashed with pink. The best man was Rev. Alan Mathew- son, of Smithton, and the groomsman Mr. McCulloch Smith, of Ulverstone (cousin of tho bride), and Mr. Leith Byard, of Wynward. Messrs. Fred Harman and Neil Cox, both of Ulver stone, were ushers. As the bride left the church, amidst showers of confetti, to the strains of "Thc Wedding March" (Mendelssohn), a white satin horseshoe, adorned with pearls and orange blossom, was hung on her arm by Miss Edith Ling. The dainty token was of special sentiment, having been sent from Greensborough (Victoria) by a number of young well wishers. For the traditional "some thing blue" a pretty blue horseshoe was presented by Miss Helene Bonhote, and a slender lucky shoe by Cynthia Willoughby. A reception, followed by a wedding tea, for which the Misses Lette catered in excellent style, was held in the Me thodist school room. Pink and white streamers fluttered above the tables, prettily decorated by Mrs. Brooks with plumed asters, showery Easter daisies, phlox, and fern. A wedding bell hung above the bride's table, which held the handsome cake of three tiers. Colored magnolia and pink, it was made by the bride's mother and decorated by Mrs. J. D. Bramich (aunt of the bride). Mrs. Forsythe received in an ensemble of navy floral marocain, with a navy, hat; and carried a bouquet of rich red roses, tied with matching rib bon. Mrs. Barren, the bridegroom's mother, chose a black costume and a black hat, with touches of mauve. She held a posy of mauve statice, with streamers to tone. Mrs. J. D. Bramich wore a black and white toilette, and red cactus dahlias wore the flowers carried. The customary speeches and toasts wore honored, and numerous congratu latory telegrams were read by the best man. The wedding gifts, which inclu ded several cheques, formed an impos ing array, and testified to the popula rly of thc young couple. Later in the evening they were mo tored by Mr. Ken. Weily to Burnie, cn route to Melbourne, where the. honey moon is being spent. The bride tra velled in a smartly tailored costume, of blue matelasse, with matching hat, and a red waislcoat. Other accessories were black, and the bridegroom's gift, a gold wristlet watch, was also worn. The future home of Rev. and Mrs. Eric W. Barren will bc Ouyen, Vic- toria.
