Burkett, of Taumarunui, became the wife of Mr. Eric Bloxham, of Taranaki. The church was beautifully decorated, and the ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Brady. The bride was given away E>y her father, and wore a lovely gown of pale pink georgette mounted on satin. The skirt was of Chantilly lace with the popular uneven hemline, and was daintily trimmed with tiny frills of georgette. The bridal veil was of pale .pink tulle, artistically embroidered, and was worn with a circlet and side clusters of orange blossom buds. A shower bouquet of pale pink roses, carnations and maidenhair fern, arranged with tulle and satin streamers, completed a really charming toilette. Two bridesmaids were in attendance, tlie Misses J. and 11.
