Anderson, of the Stratford Post Office staff, son of Mr Michael P. Anderson, and Miss Elena Bleasel, daughter of Mr C. Bleasel, being the parties. The Rev. Father Maples performed the ceremony. The bride was dressed in cream crepe de chine and wore a hat with ostrich feathers. The bridesmaids, Miss Ida Bleasel, sister of the bride, and Miss Mary Mexted, niece of the bridegroom, were also dressed in cream. Mr Roach, of the Hawera Post'Office staff, acted as best man. The ceremony at the church was fully choral. The wedding group were photographed on the church steps. A large number of friends attended the wedding breakfast at the residence of the bride's parents in Juliet Street, the church choir being in full force, the bride having been a popular member of the choir. A number of toasts were honored, Father' Maples proposing the health of the happy couple. The wedding presents were numerous and were highly useful in nature.
