Strathalbyn was the scene of a very pretty wedding yesterday afternoon when Miss Annie Borrett, daughter of Mr and Mrs George Borrett of "Raydon", Langhorne Creek, was married to Mr E.

The church was prettily decorated for the occasion and the choir attended.

Her bridesmaid, Miss Shepherd of Adelaide. wore a pink gown and a large black picture hat. Mr Angus Borrett, the bride's brother, acted as groomsman. At the close of the ceremony Mr and Mrs Borrett entertained a party of friends at a reception at the church hall where Messrs. J.
