Notes for Arthur Drury and Davida Young:

The Manning River Times 21st May 1921
SALVATION ARMY MARRIAGE
DRURY- YOUNG
There was a large gathering in the Salvation Army Hall, Taree, on Tuesday night of

last week, to witness the marriage ceremony between Band Secretary A. V. Drury

(Son of Councillor C. E. and Mrs. Drury, of Glenthorne) and Sister Veda Young,

daughter of Mrs. I Young, of Albert Street, Taree.
The contracting parties walked up the isle as the band played and the soldiers sang the

well-known hymn, "He's the Lily of the Valley," and took their places before the

platform. The band then played the march, "Under the Colours," after which the C. O.

offered prayer. The Articles of Marriage were read, after which those present sang the

23rd Psalm. The couple took up a position on a small specially arranged platform,

under the Army colors. Captain Ford performed the ceremony, and when they were

pronounced man and wife the S.M. pulled a cord and a shower of confetti enveloped

them, from a specially arranged bell which had been suspended overhead. The party

then left the hall, the congregation singing lustily "Some Day I'll see His Blessed Face."
The bride, who is the only daughter of Mrs. Young, was dressed in a navy colored

uniform, with a silk sash suspended from the right shoulder across the left side, being

caught up with sprays of orange blossoms.
The bridesmaid was Cadet Lucy Hopper, who was also dressed in a navy uniform,

with white sash.
The bridegroom wore a bandsman's uniform. Mr. Ray Drury was groomsman to his

brother, and Mr. Wilfred Young gave his sister away.
Breakfast was served at the residence of the bride's mother, when about 35 guests

were seated. Captain Ford presided, and speeches embodying good wishes for the

newly- married couple, were delivered by Cr. C. E. Drury, Mr. Wilfred Young, Mr S.

T. Lean, Mrs. R. J. Hooper, and Miss Clarice Drury.
The presents were numerous and useful, and included many cheques.
Mr. and Mrs. Drury left by the midnight train en route to Jenolan Caves.
Their future home will be at Glenthorne.
