A large gathering of relatives and friends of the contracting parties took place at St. Paul's Church, Cooma, on Thursday morning when the marriage of Miss Annette Moriarty, second daughter of Mr and Mrs Zouch Moriarty, to Mr George Russell King, second son of Mr and Mrs George Chatfield King, of Valetta, Rose Bay, was solemnised. The altar and choir of the edifice were artistically decorated by friends of the bride, with a profusion of formed an attractive setting to the costumes of the bridal party. The bride was accompanied by her father, and upon their entry the rendering of "Oh perfect love," by Mrs Gordon Hirst on the organ, formed an appropriate prelude to the ceremony. The officiating Clergyman was the Rev Canon Hirst, Rector of St. Paul's. The bride wore a dress of ivory brocade, with godets of crepe de Chine, and a tulle veil (kindly lent by the mother of the bridegroom), surmounted by a gold bandeau and cluster of orange blossoms. Her bouquet was a sheaf of white gladioli and gold roses, fastened with a golden ribbon. The bridesmaids were Miss Cherie Moriarty, sister of the bride, Miss Lilian King, sister of the bridegroom,

Miss Janet Ryrie, of Goulbourn, and two tiny cousins of the bride, Patricia and Janet Chisholm, of Merilla, Goulburn. Mr T. H. Knox, of Cania, Cooma, officiated as best man. The bridesmaids were in georgette costumes' of blue, primrose and lavender, with large crinoline hats en suite, and carried bouquets to tone. Mrs Moriarty, mother of the bride, chose a grey embroidered dress with hat of black and gold, and carried a posy of red roses. Mrs G. C. King, mother of the bridegroom, wore mole grey silk, with chapeau of blue, her bouquet being of blue and cyclamen. The hymns and Wedding March were rendered on the organ by Mrs Hirst. On leaving the church the wedded pair met a shower of rose leaves, and as their car was leaving a lucky floral shoe was attached. The reception was held at Dodd's hotel, at which Mrs King, a lady of four score years, grandmother of the bridegroom was present, having journeyed from Bowral for the occasion. The usual wedding toasts were warmly honoured, and shortly after Mr and Mrs King left by car for Cronulla, where the honey- moon is to be spent, Mrs King travelled in a tunic frock of brown figured morocain, with hat to match. They left Cooma amidst the cheers of a large gathering of friends, and expressions of good wishes. The future home of Mr and Mrs King will be Banda, Bungarby.
