A pretty wedding was celebrated at St. James' Church, King-street, Sydney, on 19th April, when Miss Dorothy Glanville, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Glanville, of Astonia, Bruce-street, Stanmore, and grand-daughter of the late John Glanville, of Tresithney, Saint Columb, Cornwall, England, was married to Mr. E. Stewart Glanville, of Bindawalla, Cooyar, Queensland, fourth son of the late John Glanville, of Wogamia, Nowra. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Ronald Cameron, of Turramurra, an old friend of the family. The bride, who entered, the church on her father's arm looked very charming attired in a dainty frock of white Duchesse satin, with an overdress of Limerick lace. The court train was of cashmere-de-soie. Her handsomely hand-embroidered tulle veil was held in place by a wreath of orange blossoms, the court train and veil being kindly lent by friends. She carried a beautiful shower bouquet of white carnations and cactus dahlias, which, with a gold wristlet watch, were gifts from the bridegroom. The bride was attended by two bridesmaids— Miss Marjorie Glanville (sister) and Miss Jean Groat — who wore very dainty frocks of pale blue and primrose shot taffetas respectively, trimmed with shadow lace and silver roses, silver tissue caps, and each carried early Victorian posies of pink and scarlet carnations with autumn tints and . streamers — these with opal rings beings gifts from the bridegroom. Mr. John Glanville, of Wogamia, was best man, and Mr. Guy Littlewood, of Cremorne, groomsman. The bridal party entered the church to the strains of Lohengrin's Bridal March, and at the Conclusion the organist gave the Wedding March in brilliant style. While the register was being signed Miss Grace Patterson, of Nowra, sang beautifully "Beloved, it is Morn," her sweet voice blending exquisitely with the strains of the organ, and delighting those present. A reception was held at the Macquarie, where the happy young couple were showered with congratulations. The brides mother was gowned in black crepe-de-chine, handsomely beaded with jet, and wore a hat to match. About fifty relatives and old friends were entertained. Mr. and Mrs. Glanville left later on their honeymoon, which is being spent at Jenolan Caves and Katoomba. The bride travelled in a mole gabardine costume trimmed with braid, and wore a pretty hat with floral trimmings to tone.
