CHINESE WEDDING

TING—FORE.

The wedding was solemnised at 7 o'clock last night at St. Mark's Church, by the Rev. N. F. E. Robertshawe, of Lucy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. K. C. Fore, Wanganui, to Arthur, fifth son of Mr. and Mrs. Chin Ting, Wellington.

The bride was escorted by Mr. E. Yen, and wore a trained gown in white magnolia satin cut in Grecian style with large ruched yoke and tight-fit-ting sleeves to the wrist, and long rope pearls round the waist falling softly to the hemline. Her embroidered veil was arranged at the back of her head with orange blossom, and she carried a beautiful trailing bouquet of carnations, roses, and maidenhair fern. She was attended by two bridesmaids, her sister, Miss Theresa Fore, and Miss "Winnie King Hon (Bulls). They were dressed alike in pale pink windswept georgette frocks made with flaring shoulder epaulettes, and wore caps with tiny flowers in their hair. They carried bouquets to tone. The flower-girl, Shirley Tins, niece of the bridegroom, was dressed in a pale green windswept georgette frock, made Empire style, with very full skirt, on which there were tiers
