Many Reefton friends will be interested in the wedding solemnised on March 11. at St. Augustine’s Anglican Church, Petone, of Josephine Marj> only daughter of Mrs and the late Mr McCashin, of Napier, to Clarence George, only son of Mr and Mrs C. Coxall, of Reefton. The bride, escorted by Mr Arthur Simmons, of Petone, was attired in a gown of ivory satin with an embroidered veil held in place by a coronet of orange blossoms. She was attended by Miss Doris Skinner, of Wellington, who wore a frock of lavender embossed net over lavender satin. Mr Arthur Wray, of Petone fulfilled the duties of best man. As the bridal couple were leaving the church, little Shirley Jarvis presented the bride with a lucky silver horse-shoe. The wedding party then adjourned to the L. & Y. Hall, Petone for the wedding breakfast, and later some 50 guests were entertained at a dance and supper by Mesdames Simmons and Jarvis of Petone. The happy couple were the recipients of numerous presents, including several cheques. Guests were present from Napier, Wellington, Petone and Reefton. Mr and Mrs Coxall will reside in Wellington.
