WEDDING AT ST MICHAEL’S.

Notwithstanding the early hour and the cold weather, a large number of persons gathered at St MichaeTs Church at halfpast nine yesterday morning to witness the marriage of Miss Emily Eobinson, youngest daughter of the late Hon W. Robinson, to Mr Patrick Campbell, widely known and popular as President of the Caledonian Society, Captain of the Scottish Rifles, and an enthusiastic sportsman. The marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev Walter Harper. The bride was given away by Mr Joseph Palmer* and was attended by Misses Harper and Hill as bridesmaids. Mr J. Brabazon was best man. The bride’s dress, the production of a Melbourne house, was of white silk, trimmed with silver brocade, and having a long full train. She wore a veil of white tulle, and carried a bouquet of white flowers. The bridesmaids’ dresses were of white surah, with folded seamless bodices trimmed with gold braid. In. compliment to the bridegroom’s nationality,’, they wore shoulder plaids of his clan colours, and Glengarry bonnets of. blue velvet,<:with blackcock feathers. The dresses of the bridesmaids were made at the D.I.C. After the ceremony Mr Wells, organist to the Church, played the Wedding March. Mr and Mrs Campbell left by the express for the South, whence they will go to the Old Country. A considerable number of friends met at the station to see them off. They were well pelted with rice by the ladies, and as the train moved off Mr James Campbell called for three cheers for Captain and Mrs Campbell, which were heartily given by a crowd of sportsmen, members of the Caledonian Society, and Scottish Rifles.
