FASHIONABLE WEDDING. Two families well-known in the North Island were united by marriage at All Saints' Church, Palmcrston North, on Wednesday afternoon, when the church was crowded to witness the nuptials of Alys, second daughter of Mrs. Frederick Riddiford, and Mr. Henry Fitzherbert Arkwright, of "Overton," Marton, third son of Canon Arkwright, Newbury, England. The church was beautifully decorated by the friends of the bride, and presented a charming appearance, a wealth of flowers and foliage having used with delightful effect. The service was fully choral, and was conducted by the Rev. G. V. Kendrick. The choir consisted of girls from the Craven school, who thus paid a graceful compliment to the bride, an ex-Craven girl. Their singing was a feature of the ceremony. The bridesmaids were Miss Cushla Riddiford (sister of the bride), Miss Olga Levett, Miss Mildred Fitzherbert (cousin of the bridegroom), Miss Mary Monro, Miss Dorothy Christie, and two small girls (Dorothy Levin and Cecile Keiller). Mr. Leo Acland (Christchurch) was best man, whilst the groomsmen were Messrs J. Gaisford, J. Ash wirlh, D. Riddiford, B. Forster-Pratt and two small boys, Billie Cooper and Brian Keiller, The bride was given awav by her brother-in-law, Mr, W. Bunny.
