WEDDING

EVERETT—MANSON

At the Catholic Church, Nightcaps, the wedding took place of Theda Marie, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs R. Manson, to Stanley George, youngest son of Mrs F. Everett, St. Alban’s, Christchurch. The Rev. Father Fenton performed the ceremony, and the organ was played by Miss Nellie O’Toole.

The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a deep ivory magnolia satin frock with a heart-shaped neckline and butterflies of seeded pearls on each shoulder. The sleeves were long and formed peaks over the hands. The bodice was slightly rucked and fell into a soft corselette-shaped waistline, also sewn with butterflies of seeded pearls. The skirt was panelled and fell into soft folds to form a long train also sewn with seeded pearls. She wore an ivory tulle veil falling from a halo of pearls to form a long train. She wore silver shoes, and carried a bouquet of freesias and roses.

The bridesmaid, Miss Frances Taylor, a cousin of the bride, wore a powder blue taffeta frock, with puffed sleeves.

The flower girl, Ann Manson, a sister of the bride, wore a salmon pink organdie frock spangled with silver sprigs. The best man was Mr William Hunt. The reception was held in the Coronnation Theatre. The mother of the bride, and the mother of the bridegroom received the guests. Items were given by Messrs James Smeaton, S. Blight, D. Taylor and G. Brazier. For travelling the bride wore a navy blue frock, trimmed with white silk braid, a navy eye-veil hat with navy suede shoes, navy bag and gloves, and a musquash fur coat. Before her wedding the bride was entertained at a gift evening by her friends in Nightcaps.
