  Cairns Post (Qld. : 1909 - 1954) Fri 1 Nov 1946 Page 6 TOOMBS - QUIRK. A very pretty wedding was solemnised on Saturday, October 5, at 3 p.m., when Irene Maud Quirk, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ashford, and Joshua Daniel, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Toombs, both of Cairns, were joined together in holy matrimony by Rev. Henry at the Presbyterian Church, Cairns. The bride entering the church on the arm of her brother, who gave her away, looked very charming in a bridal gown of white sati­n with a yoke of cobweb net trimmed with sequins and tiny covered buttons from neckline to waist, the skirt falling into a graceful train. The heart-shaped coronet, trimmed with orange blossom, looked very becoming on the fingertip veil of all-over lace. As an accessory, she wore a gold locket and chain, a gift of the bridegroom, and carried a bouquet of white lilies and fern. A white horseshoe was placed on the bride's arm by the bridegroom's niece, little Nola Wardrop, as the couple were leaving the church. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Patricia Quirk, who was frocked in blue organdi over taffeta with sweetheart neckline, puff sleeves and flared skirt. Her headdress was a large blue picture bonnet, with pink trimmings. She also wore a heart-shaped locket and chain and carried a bouquet of pink roses and blue hydrangea. Mr. Edward Craig, brother-in-law of the bride, carried out the duties of best man. The wedding breakfast was held at the Aquatic Hall, where the bride's mother, frocked in green floral with brown accessories, received I5O guests, assisted by the bridegroom's mother, who wore floral with black accessories, and also the bridegroom's sister, Mrs. W. Kolln Atherton. The pride of the breakfast table was the three-tier cake made by the bride's mother and iced by Mrs. Horton, of Pembroke-street, Cairns. The usual toasts were carried out by Rev. Henry and many telegrams congratulating the young couple were read. They also received many lovely presents and cheques. The happy couple will reside in Cairns.
