Melva's lovely gown was of flock nylon and nylon net, with the bodice and sleeves made of nylon net softly draped and shirred in the front.

The back was finished with tiny loops and buttons, and the flock nylon skirt was very full, gathered at the waistline. The bride wore a small coronet and a lace-edged veil.
The matron of honour was charmingly gowned in one of the latest shades of pink flock nylon, ballerina length, and styled identically to that worn by the bride. Her small shell-like hat was treated at the front with a very narrow edging of nylon net and finished at the side with a dainty matching spray of flowers. Mrs. Johnston wore a pendant and earrings, a gift from the groom, and, like the bride, carried a sheaf of pink and white flowers. The dainty flower girl was also gowned in flock nylon and net of ballerina length, styled identically to that worn by the bride. She carried a posy of flowers and wore a gold chain and bracelet given by the groom.
The groom was supported by Mr. Edsel Hinkley as best man.
After the ceremony, Mrs. Lawrance, assisted by Mrs. Harris, welcomed over 100 guests in the Memorial Hall, where a magnificent wedding breakfast had been prepared in buffet style.

MILLER -  LOHOAR       3rd April 1937

Speaking of weddings, there was a very pretty little unrehearsed incident in connection with Miss Barbara Millar's wedding to MR. Robert Lohoar in St. Mary's Church, West Perth, on Saturday 3rd April. There is no doubt the church interior provides a charming background for a pretty bride, particularly the lacy-white and the blue banners of colours of St. Mary. Miss Miller looked lovely with her warm-tinted fair skin and red-gold hair, and her pale pink gown was made ethereal in appearance by a misty veil of clouds of pink tulle, while she carried a pinky-mauve bouquet of asters and pom-pom dahlias.
Small Robin O'Keefe had never been to a wedding before, and was sitting in a back seat so that his mother might see the bride.
And his gusty sigh of appreciation was quite audible, "Oh!" he said, "a fairy!'"
Mr. and Mrs, Robert Lohoar will make their home at Gnowangerup in a house of their own on one corner of the beautiful Lohoar property there. Miss Mavis Lohoar, as bridesmaid, wore a lovely, effective gown of a picture shade of sea green, ankle length, and with a pink hat to match the bride's gown. It really was fairy'like frocking.
The ceremony was a small, intimat friend-and-family affair.
It was followed by a small reception at the Karrakatta Club
The Bride is the daughter of Mr. W. M. Miller, well known for his

On Saturday, 12th January, 1963 Missioner Reeley conducted the inaugural wedding ceremony in the Ongerup Methodist Church. Such an important event attracted a large crowd of interested "locals" who came to bestow good wishes on the happy couple.
The pulchritudinous* bride, Juliana Mills, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Mills of "Magill", Ongerup, wore a full-length, snow-white, flock nylon gown. Her short, dainty veil did much to enhance her dark, untainted and youthful beauty.
Julie was attended by her cousin, Miss Janice Chapman of Rockingham, who looked charming in a short length frock of tomato-red chifton. Sweet little Delcie Hounsham in a full length pink frock acted as the perfect flower girl. The ladies of the bridal party carried sheaths of pink, red and white gladioli and roses.
The bridegroom, Mr. Kelvin Wellstead, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. F. Wellstead of Borden, and his best man and looked remarkably handsome cousins, Mr. Lancel Wellstead, in their immaculate dinner suits.
Mendelsohn's Bridal March was played by Mrs. A. Foster.
The Methodist Ladies Guild presented the bride and groom with the Holy Bible bound in white leather.
After the ceremony, the bridal group assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. Hounsham where Mr. B. Simmonds posed them for photographs.
At the reception the guests were welcomed by the bride's mother, who wore a grey and white silk ensemble with white accessories, and the groom's mother who wore a dark blue frock with brown and white accessories. Mrs. Ray Brown of Needilup played the piano for the usual round of toasts at the breakfast while Mr. Joe Weir acted magnificently as Toast-Master. Mrs. Smithson entertained with a song while the wedding cake was being cut and later on in the proceedings Mrs. A. O'Neill added a high note to the evening with her renditions of "Always" and selections from "My Fair Lady". Mr. Lee, of Perth, officiated as M.C. for dancing which was commenced in traditional style with the bridal waltz.
It was noticed that Janice and Lancel seemed to find great enjoyment in the hazards of manipulation and strategy in remaining free from elimination in the novelty "Boston Two-Step".
The bride changed into a feminine pink linen suit with white accessories and after the buffet supper, the throwing of the bouquet and the last echoes of Auld Lang Syne had died away Mr. and Mrs. Kelly Wellstead left on their honey-moon. They will make their home at Ongerup.
