A pretty wedding was celebrated at St. Patrick's Church, Mangaweka, on Wednesday afternoon, when Miss Henrietta Collis, only daughter qf Mrs Collis, an old and esteemed resident of this district, was married to Mr Edmund Herbert, eldest son of Mr Charles Managh, farmer, Halcombe. That the young couple were widely esteemed and respected was amply demonstrated by the large number of visitors who crowded into the Church to witness the ceremony, the latter being performed by the Rev. Father Lacroix. Miss Collis being a member of tbe choir and an active worker in the Church, was responsible for the friends tastefully decorating the interior of- the building with evergreens and flowers. The bride looked lovely, dressed in white silk, trimmed with silk lace and insertion, and covered with the usual orthodox veil and orange blossoms. She alsa carried a very prettily arranged bouquet. The chief brides- | maid, Miss Pole, was daintily attired in Swiss muslin, with white felt hat trimmed with heliotrope and white • chiffon; she also carried a shower j bouquet. The other bridesmaids, ! Misses Gannon and Byrne were equal- ! ly attractive, dressed in satin faced i muslin, trimmed with laoe and inser- ; tion with hats to match, and carryi ing baskets of flowers. Mrs Collis, i mother of the bride, was neatly atj tired in a black cashmere with jet trimmings, bonnet to match, reliovI ed with lilac.'
