- The Federal Standard, Chiltern, Friday, August 5, 1949 - WEDDING - DEVITT-OATES
The marriage was celebrated at the Methodist Church, Chiltern, on June 25, of Beryl M, younger daughter of Mr and Mrs G F Oates of Barnawartha, and Patrick M, only son of Mr and Mrs W Devitt, Barnawartha South. Rev J Wright performed the ceremony and the bride was given away by her father. She wore a gown of off-white moss cloque, featuring a gathering bodice with a heart neck, beaded at the shoulders in silver and long pointed sleeves; a peplum was also beaded to match and the skirt fell to a pointed train. The tulle veil, loaned by Mrs S Oates, was held by a halo of orange blossom, and a shower bouquet of stocks, carnations and hyacinths carried. Her sister, Miss Ethel Oates, was bridesmaid. She wore a rose pink crepe frock with circular skirt. Her blue veil was held with a floral head-dress and she carried a bouquet of pink carnations, violets and heath. She also wore the bridegroom?s gift, a gold brooch with a blue stone. Mr W Welladsen was best man, and Mrs I B Hicks was organist. Mesdames Oates and Devitt received the guests at Smythe?s Telegraph Hotel, the former wearing a navy coat and accessories, with her pink frock, and a spray of pink carnations. Mrs Devitt chose a black coat and accessories to wear with her green frock, and a spray of red azaleas. Rev Wright presided at the breakfast, where the cake, made by the bride?s mother, was cut. The bridegroom?s gift to the bride was a double string of pearls and the bride?s gift to the bridegroom was a travelling rug. Leaving for a honeymoon tour, the bride wore a lime green jacket suit with gold buttons, tan alpaca overcoat and brown accessories. Mr and Mrs Devitt will make their home at Barnawartha South.
