Son of James BROWNING, "Egremont" Parramatta, NSW
BROWNING—MURRAY.
A military wedding was celebrated on February 23rd at the residence of the bride's parent's, 'Egremont,' Parramatta, when Lieutenant James Cumming Browning was married to Florence, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs W. R. Murray. Captain-Chaplain Holmes officiated. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a dainty gown of cream satin, with shadow lace overdress, the train being caught up with pink bebe roses. She also wore a tulle veil, previously worn by her mother, arranged over mob cap, surmounted with a wreath of orange blossoms. A bouquet of white asters, carnations, and stephanotis completed the toilette. Her gift from the bridegroom was a diamond and pearl cluster ring. Miss Marian Ward (cousin of the bride) acted as brides- maid, and wore an ivory charameuse frock, the lace corsage being arranged with touches of pale pink silk. She carried a bouquet of pink blooms tied with streamers, and her black opal ring was a gift from the bride-groom. Lieutenant R. Nancarrow acted as best man. There were over 60 guests present at the reception, chiefly the bride's relatives. The rooms were effectively decorated with white and pink flowers. A floral bell made by Miss Marks was suspended from an arch, under which the cere-mony was performed. The wedding breakfast was served in a marquee erected in the grounds, and decorated with the Allies' colors. Later Mr and Mrs Browning left for the South Coast, the bride wearing a cream cloth pencil-striped costume and a black velvet hat. — 'Daily Telegraph.'
