DANIEL— CRAIG.
A pretty wedding took place on Friday, October 25 1907, at Mr. J. C. Bell’s residence, ‘Craigross,’  64 Addis Street, Lamington Heights, when Miss Nellie Craig, of Perth,  was married to Mr. Fred. Daniel of Kalgoorlie. The ceremony was performed by Mr. John Stuart, an evangelist of the Church of Christ, Egan Street. The bride, who was given away by her cousin, Mr. Bell, wore a pretty dress of white silk, trimmed with chiffon and Paris lace. She also wore a Dollv Varden hat, trimmed with white roses, and tulle. Miss Oswin acted as bridesmaid, and wore a cream voile frock, with ‘Dolly Varden’ hat, trimmed with, pink roses. The best man was Mr. George Banks. Mrs. J. G. Murray played  the ‘Wedding March” as the bride entered the room. A large wedding bell was suspended from the ceiling over the heads of the bride and bridegroom during the ceremony. The wedding breakfast was partaken of in the large dining room,which was profusely decorated with flowers. After the usual toasts a varied programe was gone through,  Mrs. Murray, Mrs. Berry, and Miss Organ acting  as pianists. The guests left at midnight, having spent a most enjoyable evening. Handsome presents were received.
