January 27, 1911
The marriage of Mr. W. FURNESS, of Corowa, New South Wales, with Miss Millie ROKESKY, of Ballarat, was celebrated at the residence of the bride's parents, " Suffield," Lake Karnak, on the 28th December. The bride received many valuable presents, among them being a cheque from her parents. The Rev. T.C. RENTOUL officiated. The bride looked charming in her bridal dress of crepe-de-chene, and the usual veil and wreaths of orange blossoms. After the ceremony the bridal party, consisting of near relations and friends, partook of the wedding breakfast, and after the usual toast had been proposed and the party had joined in singing, " For they are jolly good fellows," the happy couple, accompanied by a host of friends, drove into Goroke where they were showered with rice and confetti while taking a train to Melbourne en route for Tasmania where they spent their honeymoon.
