WEDDINGSCOTT - RAMSAYA very quiet wedding of great interest in Kaitangata was solemnised at the residence of Mrs J Mackie, aunt of the bride on Wednesday when Lillie Jane Ramsay, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs Thos. Ramsay, Reid Street, Kaitangata, was united in the bonds of matrimony to Robert James Scott, second son of Mrs Scott and the late David Scott, Inveresk Farm, Stirling. The bride looked both chic & charming in an exquisite gown of ivory crepe de chine, tastefully relieved with white satin and radium lace. Her veil was heavily & beautifully embroidered and held in place with the customary wreath of orange blossoms (the whole kindly lent by Mrs J Mackie). She carried a pretty shower bouquet of sweet peas and maiden-hair fern. Miss Jessie Brown, Ratanui, cousin of the bride, attended as bridesmaid, and presented a pretty sight in a simple dress of fugi silk and white satin, with a black hat relieved with white. Her bouquet was similar to that of the bride's. Miss Cecilia Ramsay (sister of the bride) was second bridesmaid, and was attired in a charmingly pretty dress of shell pink crepe de chine, with cream hat relieved with pale blue flowers. Her bouquet was composed of marguerites and gypsophilia. Mr Geo.Scott, a brother of the groom, was best man. The ceremony was carried out by the Rev. R.M.G. McDowell.
The wedding breakfast was served in the drawing room, which was artistically decorated with sweet peas for the occasion and some 50 guests participated. The Rev. Mr McDowell presided, and the toast list customary on such occasions was enthusiastically honoured. Several congratulatory telegrams were received.
The presents were numerous and costly and bore excellent testimony to the popularity of the contracting parties. The bride's present to the bridegroom was a set of military hair brushes, and to the best man a Morocco wallet. The bridegroom's present to the bride was a fox fur,and to the bridesmaids a case of silver teaspoons and gold bangle respectively.
After the wedding breakfast the bridal party motored to Balclutha to visit the photographer. Later in the afternoon Mr & Mrs Scott left by car for the north, where the honeymoon is to be spent. Mrs Scott's travelling dress was a navy blue costume, heavily braided with a biscuit-coloured hat trimmed with henna and stockings and shoes en suite.
