On 4th of April a quiet wedding was celebrated at St. Augustine's Church, Spalding (Father Whealan officiating) between Charles Kevin, son of Mrs. M. A. Moy of Kensington Park, and the late Michael Moy of Bundaleer, and Mary Julia (Maisie) eldest daughter of Mrs. H. and the late Daniel Horgan, of Booborowie.
The bride entered the church on the arm of her uncle, Mr. J. Murphy, who gave her away. She looked very charming in a frock of grey corded wool-de-nil, finished with cream velvet with hat, shoes and gloves to tone. She carried a beautiful bouquet of lilies of the valley and maiden hair fern. Her sister, Miss Nora Horgan, who attended as bridesmaid chose a frock of a dainty blue shade, and carried a lovely bouquet of pink carnations, dahlias and maiden hair fern. Mr. Frank Moy, bridegroom's nephew, was best man.
After the ceremony the bridal party adjourned to the hotel, where the wedding breakfast was partaken of, only a few of the near relations being present. The usual toasts were honored. The happy couple later left by motor amid showers of confetti and good wishes for their future home in Queensland. (3)
In 1936 Maisie and Charles were living at 43 Railway Terrace, Milton in Brisbane where Charles was listed as a labourer.
