When Mary Katherine, elder daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs P. F. McEvedy, of Wellington, was married to Man, ice Colin, younger son of the late Mr and Mrs W. AlcJ’igue, of Lauriston, Mid-Canterbury, on Wednesday morning, she chose for her wedding gown magnolia duchesse satin. The wedding, which took place at St. Mary’s Church, Manchester Street, Ch‘istchurch, created considerable interest. the ceremony being performed by Father A. J. Cullen. Miss D. Blake was the organist.

Escorted by her brother. Mr Desmond McEvedy, the bride made a charming picture when she entered the church. Her frock, which was cut with distinctive .Vinplicity, formed a full sweeping train. The deep cowl neckline in front was filled in with honiton lace, and the leg-o’-mutton sleeves were tucked into the armholes and buttoned from elbow to . wrist with large pearls. Orange blossom bracelets formed a pretty finish. The waistline was suggested by a centre gauging in front. Her veil—an exquisite one which belonged to her motlie"—was of Brussels net, beautifully embroidered and mounted on billowing parchment tulle. It was arranged to a simple cap with a coronet of tiny orange blossom burls, and fell over her face in front and flowed right out over her train. In place of flowers, she carried a Prayer Book. Her brother, Mr Desmond McEvedv. gave her away. Miss Patricia McEvedy, Wellington (the bride’s sister), -was the only bridesmaid. Her frock of heavy white lace was mounted on georgette and cut with a fish-tail train. Rosettes of niched taffeta trimmed the front neckline and fringed shoulder capes of the taffeta continued over the shoulders to the waist at the back, where they developed into waterfall frills. The train was weighted with rosettes matching those at the neckline. Over her head she wore a sari of chiffon, the folds being caught with a big pearl pin. Her flowers were red carnations and cyclamen. Two little flower girls were also in • attendance. They were Raeleyne and Judith, daughters of the bride’s cousin, Mrs F. Draper. Judith Draper wore white taffeta sprigged with rosebuds and Raeleyne Draper apricot satin, both frocks being made with short skirts, full from the waist and weighted at the hem with a ruched frill. The sleeves were puffed. They had wreaths of rosebuds in their hair, and carried posies of carnations. Mr Patrick McEvedy, the bride’s i brother, was best man. I The reception, on account of the 1 recent death of the bride’s mother, was limited to members of both families. Mrs J. B. McTigue, aunt of the bridegroom, was hostess, and was assisted by her daughter, Mrs Cyril Edmonds. For travelling, the bride wore a navy tailored suit with a beige crepe-do-chine blouse finished with drawn thread work. An ostrich feather trimmed the halo brim of her navy peachbloom velour hat, and her ensemble was completed with two beautiful crossed furs of beige fox.
