Wedding CAMPBELL— SAMPSON Never before has All Saints' Church, Tumut encompassed such a large crowd of interested spectators at a wedding within its portals as that which congregated on Wednesday night last to witness the ceremony of joining together in hymeneal bonds of Miss Rhoda May, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Sampson, of Richmond-st., Tumut, with Mr. Charles Craig Campbell, only surviving son of the late Thomas Campbell and of Mrs. Campbell, "The Vineyard," Gilmore. The interior of the church had been ornately decorated for the occasion with becoming blooms, etc., by young lady friends of the bride. Rev. T. A. Gair, Rector, was the celebrant. As the bride approached the altar, leaning on the arm of her father, Miss E. R. Bridle, at the pipe organ, played "The Voice that Breathed O'er Eden." A huge wedding bell hung suspended over the bridal pair before the altar, and the large congregation listened intently to the lengthy but impressive ceremony of the Church of England. The bride, a charming type of grace and elegance, was gowned in ivory georgette finished with brocaded satin, train of brocaded satin with handmade silver flowers. A Brussels embroidered veil with silver bandeau, and a bouquet of choice blooms with sheath of silver streamers and decorations (presented by Misses S. and E. Carr), completed the tout ensemble. The bride also wore an antique locket belonging to her mother. She was attended by Miss Edith Davis (cousin of the bridegroom) as bridesmaid, attired in a dainty frock of mauve georgette trimmed with cream lace, and wearing a head-dress of pink tulle, and she carried a pretty boquet (presented by the Misses Carr). The bridegroom was supported by Mr. T. N. (Joe) Learmont. After the ceremony, Miss Bridle played the "Wedding March" as the register was being signed and the bridal party left the church for "Oxnem" the residence of the bride's parents, where, in a huge marquee, 70 guests partook of the wedding breakfast. The bride's mother, in black crepe baronet satin beaded in jet, hat to match, and holding a posy of red rose buds and fern veiled in tulle, received the guests. The mother of the groom wore a black silk dress with hat to tone, and carried a floral fan of sweet peas, finished with mauve tulle. Rev. T. A. Gair presided, and proposed the regal toast, followed by that of the "Bride and Bridegroom," whom he had known for the three years of his ministration in the Tumut Parish, and claimed some little kudos for their first coming together. The bridegroom suitably responded for the rev. chairman's complimentary remarks anent his wife and himself, and for the lusty manner in which the toast was received, and then proposed the health of the bridesmaid, for whom Mr. Learmont replied. Mr. William Marshall, a very old friend of the parents of both contracting parties, was entrusted with the toast of "The Parents of the Bride and Bridegroom." Mr. Sampson returned thanks for the honor done Mrs. Sampson and himself, and Mr. Len Brown responded for Mrs. Campbell. Mr. E. Hobson proposed the health of the ladies, Mr. W. W. Learmont speaking on their behalf. Mr. T. J. O'Brien proposed the toast of "The Decorators," both of the church and the marquee, the latter being exquisite, the table embellishments dazzling, and the streamers of white and blue with fairy lanterns hung from the roof to the tables, and a large white bell was suspended over the newly-wed. Miss G. M. Cochrane delivered a telling little speech for the recognition of the part she and her co-workers had taken in the function. Mr. Arthur W. Davis proposed the toast of "The Press." Mr. A. Wilkie Watson responding for the TUMUT TIMES. Mr. Rupert Sampson proposed the health of the caterer, Mrs. A. L. Davis, for whom Miss Cochrane responded. Mrs. Davis had made, and presented, as a gift, the handsome 3-decker wedding cake that graced the table in front of the bridal pair. Mr. Thomas Sullivan offered congratulations of the people of Gilmore to the bride and bridegroom. Mr. Alex Davis toasted "The Rev. Chairman," in conclusion. In the drawing-room of "Oxnem" were two large tables laden with wedding presents, which presented a beautiful array of valuable and useful articles. The bridegroom's present to his bride was a handsome brown leather Chesterfield suite, to the bridesmaid a Dutch ornament, and the bride's to the groom was a gold albert. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Campbell left afterwards per motor car on a tour to Melbourne, thence on to Tasmania. They return after the honeymoon to "Burnside," Gilmore, Mr. Campbell's snug home. The bride's travelling costume was of cinnamon silk marocain braided with nigger brown, black satin dust wrap, and crinoline hat trimmed with velvet. The bride's frocks were the handwork of Mrs . Geo. Ibbotson, formerly of Tumut.
