More than 300 people, many in period costume, assembled at the Willsher Bay domain, near Kaka Point, to relive the infamous "wedding" between conwoman Amy Bock, who was disguised as sheep farmer Percy Redwood, and Kaka Point woman Agnes Ottaway.
It was the official end to celebrations marking Miss Bock's most infamous act - when she acted as a man.
Descendants of both the bride and groom attended the re-enactment, which included a performance from South Otago Theatrical Society members.
Papatowai woman Carol Geissler assumed the role of Miss Bock, while Stephanie Bowden portrayed the unfortunate Miss Ottaway.
They were joined by a bridal party of about a dozen, including eight flower-girls.
Most of those gathered had made the effort to wear appropriate 1909 attire.
A contemporary twist was the selling of Bock merchandise, including badges, handkerchiefs and cards.
A replica wedding cake, made by Janet Ross, took centre stage during the official wedding photographs when dozens of people, all carrying 21st century digital cameras, swarmed to capture the moment.
The Balclutha Brass Band entered into the spirit of the occasion by providing suitably old-fashioned tunes throughout the ceremony.
Descendants of Miss Bock and Miss Ottaway were there to share in the occasion, as were others whose descendants had ties to the event, including relatives of wedding suit tailors, guests who staged toasts and bridal party members as well.
The South Otago Historical Society event, co-ordinated by museum curator Gary Ross, attracted people from all over the country.
Mr Ross said he was relieved all went well and he was grateful for all those who had helped make the re-enactment such a success.
