She completed her toilet with a lovely shower bouquet. The maids of honour were Misses M'Gregor and E. Taylor, who wore pink satin, and blaek hats with pink wings. The diamond ear-rings which they wore on the occasion were* gifts from the bridegroom. They carried bouquets of autumn leaves and flowers. Mr Hill acted as best man, and Mr Stanley Wright as groomsman. Rev. J F. Martin, of Ohoka, officiated, and Mr J. H. Blackwell presided at the organ.
