WEDDING AT SANDGATE.
Turner\emdash Roehricht.
The wedding of Dr. A. Jefferis Turner and Miss Hilda Roehricht, youngest daughter of the late Mr. R. H. O. Roehricht, of the Railway Department, was solemnised at St. Nicolas Church, Sandgate, yesterday morning. The wedding party was confined to the immediate friends of the bride and bridegroom. Canon Matthews, who had hastened his return from Warwick for the purpose, performed the ceremony. The bride, who was attired in a simple gown of soft white silk and small white hat, was given away by her brother, Mr. Oswald Roehricht. The two bridesmaids\emdash Miss Aline Townsend and Miss Hilda Parker\emdash wore pretty dresses of white hailstone muslin over buttercup silk, with long sashes of the same shade, and hats en suite. The bride was attended by two little pages, Masters Arthur and Turner Paul, the sons of Dr. and Mrs. F. Paul, who wore white holland suits and sailor hats. After the ceremony refreshments were served at the house of Dr. and Mrs. Paul, and soon after Dr. and Mrs. Turner left for Brisbane, en route for Sydney and the Blue Mountains, where the honeymoon is to be spent. Dr. and Mrs. Turner will return to town at the beginning of March. Many pretty and valuable presents were received by the bride and bridegroom.

[In the above article, the "The bride was attended by two little pages, Masters Arthur and Turner Paul, the sons of Dr. and Mrs. F. Paul" refers to Arthur and Turner; and their parents Dr Paul and Mrs Paul. Dr Paul's next younger brother was husband to this bride's sister \emdash and it is possible (not confirmed) that one of the bridesmaids may be related to Dr Paul's second wife (the families were all friends, or lived near each other, in Sandgate, Queensland, Australia).]
