BEAUTIFUL WEDDING

July 13, 2013 was the wedding day of local postal worker James Gould and local girl Claire Childs.

James is the only son of Darryl and Tracey Gould and Claire the only daughter of Brian and Lesley Childs.

James and Claire were married at the White Ibis, Cootamundra where the reception was also held.

The bride was ably assisted by matron of honour Rachel Childs (the bride’s sister-in-law) and Katie Gould (the groom’s sister).

The groom was assisted by best man Bon Sheedy and groomsman James Childs.

James and Claire were married by Claire’s family friend Marilyn Hoy from Culcairn, with family and friends traveling from Canberra, South Australia, West Wyalong and Woy Woy to attend the nuptials.

The happy couple spent their honeymoon in Queensland where they visited James’ sick grandfather and Sea World.

They have made their home in Cootamundra, with James returning to work at the Post Office and looking forward to their baby, due in December.
