The marriage of Elleanor Patricia Heron, the elder daughter and step-daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reg Hosie, Botany Street, Morwell, to Alan A. ("Mick") Matthews, eldest son of the late Mr. W. Matthews and Mrs. Matthews, Morwell, took place on December 16 at the Sacred Heart Church, Morwell. The celebrant was the Rev. Fr. Dwyer.

The bride looked very charming as she. entered the church on the arm of her father. Her beautifully trained gown was of ivory satin and was cut on classical lines; her embroidered tulle veil was held in place by a coronet of orange blossom, and she carried St. Joseph lilies. She was attended by her sister, Miss Clare Hosie, and the Misses Marie and Joan Drew, of Sale, who were all frocked alike in rose pink organdie and wore pretty pink lace halos and carried pink carnations and delphiniums. The bridegroom was attended by his cousin, Mr. Allan Wright, as best man, and Mr. J. Halstead (uncle of bride) and Mr. L. Berryman as groomsmen. The organ music was supplied by Mrs. J. Bridgeman and during the signing of the register the hymn "O Salutaris" was beautifully sung by Mrs. O'Callaghan.

A reception was held in the Masonic Hall, where about 50 quests were entertained. Later the happy couple left by the evening train to spend a honeymoon in Ballarat, the bride travelling in a dusty pink frock with white accessories and wore a shoulder spray of frangipani. Their future home will be in Dandenong.
