WEDDING

WILKENSON—SCARFE. A quiet but very charming wedding was solemnised at St. Paul’s Church, Napier, on Wednesday, when Irma Rosalind, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs R. Scarfe, of Milton Terrace, was united in the bonds of holy matrimony with David Archer Wilkenson, of Napier. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father, looked charming in her bridal wock of ivory white ring velvet, which was made on graceful lines with an ankle length flared skirt and fitted corsage finished at the waist with a crystal buckle. The long tailored sleeves were pointed over the wrist and were an added grace to the frock. Her beautiful tulle veil was daintily arranged and held in place with a spray of orange blossom at the back of the neck. She wore footwear to tone and carried a sheath of golden chrysanthemums. In attendance on the bride was Miss Dorothy Bear, who wore a frock of apple green embossed cenelle georgette, which was fashionably made with a fitted corsage and sleeves and flared skirt of ankle length. Her modish green chip straw hat with its yellow flower suited her to perfection. Shoes and stockings were worn to tone and she carried a bouquet of golden roses and chrysanthemums. The bride’s small niece, lima, made a winsome flower girl in her long frock of gold ring velvet and her little Dutch cap finished with flat velvet flowers. She carried a posy in tones of gold Mr B. Wells capably carried out his duties as best man.

The church was tastefully decorated by the girl friends of the bride with flowers in tones of gold and cream. After the ceremony the guests were entertained at the home of the bride’s parents. Mrs. Scarfe received her guests wearing a black tailored costume and black hat. Her beautiful bouquet was also of golden flowers. Miss Lorna Scarfe, sister of the bride, was attired in a simple frock of Lido blue crepe-de-chine and a white felt hat relieved with touches of blue. During the wedding breakfast the customary toasts were proposed and honoured and the numerous telegrams, including cables from the bridegroom’s relatives in Suva, were read by the best man.

Among the invited guests were:— Mrs. D. Scarfe, Mr and Mrs F Stubbs (Takapau), Mr and Mrs S. Stubbs (Takapau), Mr and Mrs Meikle, Mr and Mrs W. Bennett (Wellington), Mr and Mrs F.
