COAST WEDDING

TOX WARD—SMITH. Moanaroa, the beautiful home of Mr and Mrs P. V. Smith., Akitio, was the setting for the recent marriage of their eldest daughter, Molly, to Chris, son of Mr A. J. Toxward and the late Mrs Toxward. The bride chose a slim-fitting gown of silver lame, the hemline of the skirt falling into a graceful train. Her veil of billowy white tulle was caught into a fan-shaped coronet of pleated net, orange blossom, and pearls; and she carried a trailing bouquet of white amaryllis. The three sisters of the bride 'maided her, Joan (chief), Philippa and Margaret, dressed in ice-blue ninon frocks, modelled on Grecian lines, and finished at the waist with long silver girdles. They wore stiffened net fans at the back of their upward-swept hair, and carried trailing bouquets to tone. Mr Ewen Campbell attended the bridegroom as best man, with Mr Bruce Smith and Mr Guy Toxward as groomsmen. The mother of the bride wore a gown of black georgette, relieved with white at the neckline, and a large black picture hat finished with an ostrich plume. Both the ceremony and reception were attended by many relatives and local friends
