Watson, of Ponsonby, to Flight-Lieutenant Frank Ross Dawes, elder son of Mrs. E. Dawes, of Devonport. The Rev. Dr. Hodge officiated. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a lovely gown of white crepe made with a cowl neck which fell in three folds across the bodice. The gathered skirt had ■ a train and on her head was a coronet of orange blossoms which kept the veil in place. A shower bouquet of white roses, begonias and bouvardia was carried. Attending as bridesmaids were Doreen Watson (sister), and Miss Esther Stace. They wore frocks of Marina blue crepe with heart-shaped necks and full skirts and carried bouquets of roses and begonias in autumn shades. The best man was Flight-Lieutenant D. N. Cook (Nelson) and the groomsman was Lieutenant K. Tripp, R.N.Z.N.V.R. Following the ceremony a reception was held at the Ritz, where Mrs. Dawes received her guests wearing a fine coloured suit and hat with spray of tuber roses. Mrs. Watson was in a honey-gold suit and hat with cream roses and begonias. The bridegroom's grandmother, Mrs. M. Lee, was in a black ensemble with a spray of gerberas.
