WEDDING

BOYD—GRAHAM. The marriage was solemnised at the Kaipaki Church between Olive Sybil, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs R. J. Graham, of Kaipaki, and Fergus Craig, eldest son of Mr and Mrs J. Boyd, of Gordonton. The church had been beautifully decorated by friends of the bride, the bridal party standing under a floral arch from which was suspended a dainty white bell. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. C. W. Chandler, vicar of Cambridge, and Mrs Wiley presided at the organ.

The bride, who entered the church with her father, wore a charming gown of ivory embossed silk lace over satin, cut on princess lines and falling softly in a graceful oval train. The circular neckline was finished with a soft satin piping with satin buttons on the shoulders. The waistline was encircled with a flared basque reaching to within six inches in front, where it was finished with two large satin buttons. The long, full sleeves were open, being caught at the wrist with a satin band finished again witli a satin button. Her oval veil, ot beautifully embroidered net, was arranged on her hair in mob cap style, gathered in at the back of the neck, where it was held in place with a spray of orange blossom, then falling gracefully to form a second and longer train. She carried a beautiful shower bouquet of cream carnations, dahlias, nerines and small branches of pink begonia and maidenhair fern, tied with ivory satin streamers. The bridesmaids were Miss Jean Graham (sister of the bride) and Miss Margaret Boyd (sister of the bridegroom) .
