Wedding Bells

Bradley—Wright J A very pretty wedding was celebrated in Holy Trinity Church last Saturday morning, when Joan Erica, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Wright, Waikohu, was married to Arthur Gladwin, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Bradley, Dominion road, Gisbome, Canon A. F. Hall officiating. Entering the church with her father, the 'bride looked charming in her lovely gown of ivory chenille satin modelled on classical lines with a panel front, a short train at the back slightly niched to the long graceful skirt, and a bolero jacket to match trimmed with touches of gold. Her dainty ivory silk net veil was embroidered in each corner, and held in place with a coronet of orange blossom so arranged to allow the four embroidered corners to show clearly, the veil hanging in filmy folds over the frock. Silver shoes and silk hose to tone, and a beautiful arm sheaf of lilies and roses intermingled with fern completed the bride's picturesque ensemble. Bridesmaids in Flame and Gold The three bridesmaids, Miss Rae Wright, sister of the bride, Miss Jean Bradley, sister of the bridegroom, and Miss Patricia Candy wore pretty frocks of flame panne velvet trimmed with touches of gold and modelled on similar lines to the bride's gown. Each bridesmaid carried a ruched velvet muff to match her frock and wore a gold halo finished across thehead in front with a twisted band oi flame velvet; and gold shoes and hose to tone. Attending the bridegroom were Mr. B. Bradley, as best man, and Messrs. A. Webster, and N. Wright, brother of I the bride, as groomsmen.
