STROUD-ANGELO. At 10.30 a.m. on Wednesday morning, November 28, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Queenstown, was the scene of a pretty wedding, when Mary Millicent, younger daughter of Mr and Mrs Michael Angelo, of Queenstown, was married to Thomas Rupert, third son of Mr and Mrs T. Stroud, of Invercargill. The church was artistically decorated by friends of the bride with greenery and bowls of pink lupins, cream and pink roses, carrying out the colour scheme of the wedding party. The Rev. D. Heggie, of Cromwell, was the officiating clergyman, and the nuptial music was played by Miss Eva Davies. The bride, who entered the church with her father, wore a becoming frock of ivory shadow sand crepe cut on simple lines and forming a short train at the back. Real French lace was introduced to form a yoke, and the long close-fitting sleeves were pleated at the shoulder. A daintily embroidered silk tulle veil was worn with a coronet of orange blossom, and she carried a sheaf of pink and deep cream roses. White embossed court shoes and hose to tone completed her ensemble. The bride was attended by two maids. Miss Bessie Angelo, her sister, and Miss Girlie Hales, a cousin, who wore twin frocks of floral organdi over satin in shades of rose pink and apple green respectively. The frocks were closefitting to the knees, thence flaring to the ground. Four vertical frills were effectively introduced at the back of the skirts, the same frilled effect being carried out on the elbow length sleeves, while the neck-line was finished with a tiny frill. Dainty platinum set necklaces in shades of pink and green, the gifts of the bridegroom, were also worn. Plain organdi hats in matching shades were worn, with shoes and hose to tone, and they carried bouquets of roses and sweet peas.

Mr Clare Stroud and Mr Alex Wilson, both of Invercargill, carried out the duties of best man and groomsman respectively. After the ceremony a reception was held at the Gardens Kiosk, where the guests were received by Mrs Angelo and Mrs Stroud. The former was attired in a smart two-piece suit of navy blue silk marocain with floral silk trimmings and a smart navy blue hat to tone. Her bouquet was of deep red roses. Mrs Stroud wore a smart frock in wine coloured floral crepe with a swagger coat in windswept crepe to tone and a wine straw hat. Her bouquet was of honey coloured roses. Miss Olive Stroud wore a tailored coat of duck egg blue crepe suede, with felt hat to tone, and Miss Daphne Stroud wore a frock of rose pink phantom crepe with pink straw hat. The usual toasts were honoured and a sheaf of congratulatory telegrams was read by the best man. Later in the day the young couple left on their honeymoon, the bride wearing a swagger suit of navy blue self stripe marocain, featuring the new pleating and white buttons, smart white hat and shoes, and carrying a handsome white suede bag. Mr and Mrs Stroud will reside in Invercargill. Prior to her marriage the bride was entertained at a bathroom afternoon by Miss Girlie Hales, a kitchen evening by the young people of Queenstown, and at a social and presentation given by members of St. Andrew’s congregation.
