Wedding Bells

HATELEY---SMITH

The marriage of Mr. Louis William HATELEY, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. A.
C. HATELEY, formally of Mitre Lake, now of Geelong, and Miss Elizabeth May
SMITH, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mark SMITH, of Grass Flat, took place
in the Grass Flat Methodist Church on Wednesday, 31st March. The Rev. E.
SHACKELL performed the ceremony.
As the bride entered the church on the arm of her father, who gave her away,
the hymn "The Voice that breathed o'er Eden" was sung by those assembled,
Mr. Walter SMITH presiding at the organ. The bride looked very charming in
a dainty dress of creme mercerised embroidered lace organdie, trimmed with
frilling and pearls. She wore a wreath and veil and carried a shower
bouquet of cosmos and asparagus fern. The bridesmaid, Miss Lily SMITH, wore
a pretty white embroidered voile, she carried a bouquet and also wore a
pearl crescent bangle, the gift of the bridegroom. Mr. Lou SMITH acted as
best man.
The bridegroom's present to the bride was diamond and garnet bracelet. The
bride's gift to the bridegroom was a traveling bag. As the bride and
bridegroom left the church they received the congratulations of their
friends.
The guests, consisting only of near relatives, were subsequently hospitably
entertained by Mr. and Mrs. SMITH at their residence.
Mr. SHACKELL presided over the wedding tea, and at the conclusion, as the
usual toasts were dispensed with, voiced the good wishes of those present to
the young couple.
Mr. and Mrs. HATELEY were afterwards driven to Natimuk where they took the
train for Horsham, en route for Adelaide, where the honeymoon is being
spent.
The bride's traveling dress was a neat navy blue serge costume, trimmed with
black mervellieux silk with hat to match.
On their return from Adelaide, Mr. and Mrs. HATELEY will live at "Zion
Villa" Mitre Lake.
