WEDDING AT ST. PAUL'S

BRIDEGROOM SON OF FORMER PRIME MINISTER

Wearing a bridal gown of cream satin brocaded with gold roses and a tulle veil combined with an exquisite piece of old lace, Miss Margaret Valmai Richardson was married at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul yesterday afternoon to Mr. Robert George Forbes, of Cheviot, Canterbury, son of the Rt. Hon. George Forbes, a former Prime Minister of New Zealand, and Mrs. Forbes. The bride, who is the daughter of Mr. C. A. Richardson, Talaver.a Terrace, and the late Mrs. Richardson, was escorted by her father. Her bridesmaid was Miss Moya Hempton, and Mr. Denis McGrath was best man. The ceremony was performed by Canon D. J. Davies.

Cream roses were carried by the bride, and the bridesmaid, who wore a gown of deep cream slipper satin, carried dark red roses. Beautiful hydrangeas decorated the church and there were also lovely flowers arranged at the National Club, where the reception was held and where the guests were received by the parents of the bride and bridegroom.

For travelling the bride was dressed in a two-piece ensemble of pale blue wool crepe with which she wore grey fox furs.
