LLOYD The wedding of Winifred Jessie, only daughter of Mrs Speight and the late Mr Charles Speight, of York place, to Glynne Mansell, second youngest son of Mr .Edward Lloyd, of Wanganui, solemnised at First Church by Rev. W. Allen Stevely on Wednesday afternoon, was witnessed by a large number of guests. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Dr Norman Speight, wore an exquisite frock in soft ivory satin, cut on classical lines, with a short train. Her veil of foamy tulle was worn with a lace cap, held in place with pearls and orange blossom. She carried a sheaf of madonna and arum lilies and maidenhair fern. She was attended by three bridesmaids—Misses Dessa Stabb, Margaret Stewart (Scotland), and Molly M‘Gregor (Mount Linton) —who made a charming picture in their slender ankle-length frocks in a soft, sunrise pink shade of Italian novelty silk, finished with silver lame and having silver lame sashes at the natural waist line; quaint mediaeval sleeves edged with silver lame plaitings, and head-dress of pink and silver plaited into high halos. Their bouquets were poppies in sunrise tones, and contrasted prettily with their frocks. The bridegroom was attended by Mr E. A. Reed as best men, with Messrs J. G. Dick and F. 1. Dawson as groomsmen. The ushers were Dr Bruce Speight (cousin of the bride) and Messrs C. V. Smith, S. F. Greenslade, and J. Gilkison. Dr V. E, Galway presided at the organ. After the church ceremony the guests adjourned to “ Haetea,” the home of the bride’s mother, where they entered the hall to the strains of' the ‘ Wedding March,’ played by Mr Charles Martin and Miss Ethel Wallace. Mrs Charles Speight, who wore a smart gown of wine red satin with wide panels of lace insertion, a satin coatee trimmed with deep bands of brown fur and picture hat to tone, stood in the lounge with the newlymarried pair to receive the guests. The reception rooms were beautifully decorated with masses of roses and spindlewood, while the marquee in the garden, where the wedding breakfast was served, was arranged with pink roses and autumn greenery to tone with the frocks and bouquets of the bridesmaids.
