THE PEOPLE'S WEEKLY, MOONTA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1946.
Matrimonial.
BRIDGMAN - SPRY.
On November 2thl, at the Moonta Methodist church, the marriage was solemnised of Jean, only daughter of Mr and Mrs Frank Spry, of Moonta, and Garnet, second son of Mrs Bridgman, also of Moonta. The Rev C.W.G. Smith officiated. As the bride entered the church with her father, the bridegroom and best man approached the altar from the opposite aisle. The bride wore a frock of midnight blue, with a draped bodice, trimmed with pale blue beading. A small blue hat, relieved with pink flowers and veiling, and light blue gloves to match, completed her outfit. She carried a lovely bouquet of pale pink roses, gladioli, and carnations, with touches of blue delphinium, and trailers of pink watsonias. The bride was attended by Miss Shirley Harris, wearing a powder blue frock, with a scalloped busk, and black accessories, and carrying a bouquet of pink rosebuds and gladioli. Both bride and bridesmaid wore pendants, gifts of the bridegroom. The bridegroom was attended by his brother-in-law, Mr Mervyn Marriott. Miss Janet Ferguson sang 'I'll walk beside you,' during the signing of the register. As the bridal party was leaving the church, horseshoes were hung on the bride's arm by Helen James and Jillian Marriott (niece of the groom). The bride's mother wore an embroidered suit of sage green, with black accessories, and a pink shoulder spray; and the bridegroom's mother chose a black and white frock, with a black sheer coat, matching hat, and a mauve shoulder spray. The church was beautifully decorated by the Girl Comrades, who led the singing during the service, and later formed a guard of honour at the church door. Several members of the Comradeship also assisted at the informal reception held in the church hall. Mr and Mrs Bridgman then left on a motoring trip through the South East.
Last Monday night, 2nd inst, the accustomed peacefulness of North Moonta was suddenly shattered by a party of friends intent on giving Mr and Mrs Bridgman a really warm welcome back from their honeymoon. When they had recovered sufficiently from the shock of the tin kettling, Mr and Mrs Bridgman entertained guests with an impromptu social evening and supper.
