ORANGE BLOSSOMS. NUNN-SCARBOROUGH.
A very pretty and interesting wedding (some missing word/s), (writes our Dinmore correspondent), here on Wednesday week, at the residence of Mr. Arthur E. Wilson, the contracting parties being Mr George Nunn, third son of Mrs and Mr D. Nunn, sen, of Dinmore and Miss Jane Scarborough, fourth daughter of the late Mr Charles Scarborough, of Bundamba.
The ceremony was performed in the afternoon at 3.30 o'clock (in the presence of quite an interested assemblage of invited guests), the Rev. J. Adamson, of Ipswich, being the celebrant.
The bride was tastefully attired in a handsome costume of pearl lustre, with pearl trimmings, and the usual wreath of orange blossoms.
She was attended by the Misses Edith, Jessie, and Ida Wilson, and Miss Lily Scarborough (all nieces of the bride).
The three first-named wore costume of hail-stone muselin lined with blue, and Miss L. Scarborough appeared in a dress of pale blue cashmere.
Mr. C. Scarborough, of Brisbane, (brother of the bride), gave the bride away. The bridegroom was attended by Messrs. A., C., and R. Wilson.
After the ceremony, the wedding breakfast was served in the large kitchen of Mr. Wilson's residence, where about 70 guests sat down to well-filled tables, and full justice was done to the capital fare provided.
A goodly number of guests arrived later on in the evening, and a very enjoyable time was spent by all assembled, games, dancing and singing, being thoroughly enjoyed until the small hours of the morning.
The presents were numerous, and, in the majority of instances, they were costly and also useful.

• _FNRL: 11 Jan 1900, Ipswich Cemetery, Ipswich, Queensland, Australia

Notes:

By the time he was 18, David Nunn had four convictions for poaching, according to the Bury Prison Register dated 23 Sep 1846.
The fourth conviction earned him a fine of 20 shillings, costs 13 shillings. It's not clear if the 20 shillings included the costs but either way it was a substantial fine for "an offence against the Game Laws at Chevington".
We can surmise that he may have been poaching to feed himself and other family members but whatever the truth, it was against the law and he was caught. The record describes David as 5ft 5ins, pale complexion, brown hair, grey eyes, long visage, of good health with clean clothes. He could not read or write.
Four years later, it was reported in the Bury and Norwich Post on 16 April 1851, p2, in a list of convictions at Chevington that ... David Nunn and Wm. Death, offence against game laws at Chevington; 2 months.
So, he spent time in jail for his misdeamours as well.
