“Night weddings,’’ said an Auckland vicar last week, “are on the increase, and now constitute the great majority of weddings here. It would, appear that the appeal is ulitarian rather than aesthetic. An evening wedding requires less planning; it is comparatively economical in dress; it is over more quickly and does not entail a long, tiring. and expensive round of entertaining. For every morning or afternoon wedding I get ten night weddings.” A popular wedding clergyman said: “You might say that night weddings are now the thing. They are no longer the exception. As far as the clergy’s convenience is concerned, it is a movement that is to bo vastly regretted, but I can appreciate the point of view of the parties, particularly the parents, who are thereby saved a large amount of trouble and expense.
