WEDDING AT WARRANDYTE.
       SANFORD-HARTRICK.
  A very stylish wedding took place at Warrandyte on Wednesday, 27th ult., Miss Nellie Hartrick (eldest daughter of Mr A. Hartrick), being united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Mr John Sanford (eldest son of Mr. E. Sanford), both of Warrandyte. Judging by the crowd assembled at the church it was a very popular event, as every available space was taken up. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Raymond, of Doncaster. Miss Hartrick (cousin of the bride) played the Wedding March. Showers of rice met the happy couple on leaving the church. The wedding breakfast was held in the Warrandyte Hall and ample justice done to to the good things provided. Several appropriate toasts were given and duly responded to. After the breakfast the Hall was cleared and some 200 friends of the bride and bridegroom spent a very pleasant time in dancing, singing, etc., till the small hours of the morning. Mr Wyatt spoke a few appropriate words and wished the couple all happiness, when all present joined in three hearty cheers to the pair, who left shortly after for their honeymoon. Both Church and Hall were beautifully decorated by friends of the bride. The bridesmaids were Misses E., P., C., and F. Hartrick (sisters of the bride), and Miss M. Sanford (sister of the bridegroom). Master A. Hartrick (brother of bride) acted as page.
  The bride wore a lovely dress of white silk and lace, knots of satin ribbons here and there, and train, which with exquisite veil of tulle, prettily worked with flowers and wreath of orange blossom, made a very bewitching picture. The six bridesmaids wore dresses of cream silk and voile and crepolene. The bride's mother wore black meav silk relieved with er?? lace and ribbon bows. Some of the guests wore very handsome dresses. Little Florrie Hartrick (the bride's sister) made a vision of loveliness in her pretty white silk under a crown of jasmine, and others were equally becoming and stylish. The bride's cousin looked lovely in cream voile and lace, and a love dress of cream and lace worn by one of the bride's friends was a creation in itself. A black silk voile, especially handsome, was worn by one of the ladies. Another dress, pale flowered muslin, was among the prettiest. One lady looked distinguished in broche silk; another, in blue voile, exquisitely made, looked pretty among the different dresses of the guests; others, too numerous to mention, looked equally becoming and interesting.
