GISBORNE INTEREST

BEAUTIFUL PET ONE WEDDING

Heavy ivory satin lacquered in a pattern of chrysanthemums fashioned the handsome bridal gown worn by Jean Grove, second daughter of Mrs. G. Ogilvie, Lower Kutt, and the late Mr. S. A. Ogilvie, for her marriage recently to Maxwell Barrington, second son of Mr and Mrs. P. R. Stevens. Gisborne. The swathed hipline was knotted to form a full front panel, and the skirt swept into a long train. Her threetiered veil of uncut tulle mounted on a pearl-edged Mary Stuart headdress was the "something boi-rowed,” and she carried a sheaf of Christmas lilies. Her sisters, Misses Airdrie and Margaret Ogilvie, attended her. Front ruching from the decollete neckline to the low waist finished with a fiat bow was the distinctive feature of their gold brocade frocks, which were also trained. They carried Prayer Books covered lo match their gold lace tiarashaped headdresses. The bridegroom was attended by his brother, Mr. R. Stevens, as best man, and Mr. A. Beadle was groomsman. The service was held at St. Augustine’s Church, Petone, which had been decorated with blue and white hydrangeas by friends of the bride. The Rev. M. R. Pirani performed the ceremony, and the bride was escorted by her uncle, Mr. Grove. During the signing of the register Miss A. Lidgett sang “The Lord's Prayer.” The reception was held at Mrs. Ogilvie’s home in Waterloo road, the bride’s mother wearing a saxe blue suit and hat feather trimmed, a cream lace blouse and gloves. Her shoulder spray was of miniature lilies. Mrs. Stevens chose a floral frock with a black edge-to-edge coat, and black chip straw hat and accessories, relieved with a corsage of blue delphiniums. The bridegroom’s sister was also present and was attired in a red and black floral frock with a matching peplum and black and cream accessories. Her spray was composed of cream gladioli. For travelling the bride wore a model suit of dusky pink cloque. Venetian lace formed the wide revers, and the scolloped front flared into the new swallow-tail peplum. Veiling swathed her small matching hat and her accessories were black. Mr. and Mrs. Stevens will make their home at Titahi Bay. /
