Tho wedding took place at St. Jude s Anglican Church, Lyall Bay, Wellington, of Alfred William, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Yortt, Palmerston North, to Gladys, younger daughter of Mrs. A. Birch, Lyall Bay, and granddaughter of Mrs. M. E. O’Connell, an old and highly respected resident of the Manawatu district. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her brother, Mr. C. F. Birch, was gowned in a becoming model of ivory satin. Tho dress, which was made with a tight fitting bodice, long sleeves and a skirt falling in folds to tho ground, was relieved by a wide circular frill of tho same material, crossing tho left hip and falling in folds to the centre front and back of the hemline. With the gown was worn a beautiful fine silk lace veil held firmly to tho head with tiny clusters of rosebuds and orange blossom, and falling in folds at tho back, forming a long graceful tram. An arm bouquet of white and pale pink gladioli completed the bride’s charming toilet. Miss Mavis Duncan, a friend of the bride, attended as bridesmaid. She wore a dainty floral ninon frock of the palest green, patterned in gold and scarlet, a largo black picture hat, black suede shoes and carried a scarlet bouquet. Also worn by the bridesmaid was a red amber necklace and ear-nngs, tho gift of tho bridegroom. Mr. D. Gordon, of Dannevirke, acted as best man. After the ceremony an informal wedding breakfast was held at the homo of the bride’s mother. Mrs. A. Birch (mother of the bride) wore a long frock of black and scarlet floral ninon, a black bankok straw hat and brown suede shoes. Mrs. A. Yortt (mother of tho bridegroom) wore a smart ensemble of cocoa brown marocain, with hat to tone. Both earned posies of scarlet berries and roses. After the breakfast the happy couple left for the Sounds, the bride wearing a smart black tailored costume with a black velour felt hat caught with a Glengary feather, black suede shoes with paste buckles. Mr. and Mrs. Yortt’s future home will be in Palmerston North.
