WEDDING

HARRISON—McLAChLaN. At St. Augustine’s Church, Waimate, on Wednesday, Helene Osborne, second daughter of Mr and Mrs C. S. McLachlan, Limestone Hills. Waimate, was united in holy matrimony to Rupert Edward Henry, younger son of Mr and Mrs E. B. Harrison, Vale Terrace, Waihao Downs. The Rev. G. N. Watson, of Opawa, performed the ceremony and Miss G. Mumford played the nuptial music. The church had been beautifully decorated in pastel shades by Mrs Donald Borrie, Miss Marion McLean and other friends of the bride. The bride, who was escorted by her father, wore a close-fitting gown of ivory satin cut on princess lines, the back panel forming a train. The halter collar was finished at the side with a buckle and spray of orange blossom, and the long sleeves were tucked to the elbow. Her long tulle veil was embroidered with wedding bells and true lovers’ knots, and was worn over the face, being held to the head with a circlet of orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of white freesias and chrysanthemums, and maiden-hair fern. Miss Janet McLachlan. the bride’s sister, and Miss Marion McLean were bridesmaids, and two cousins of the bride, Misses Ottalie Osborne and Betty Carr, were flower girls. The bridesmaids’ dainty frocks of white taffeta sprigged with clusters of roses were made with georgette yokes. The sleeves had tiny frills over the hands, and on the hems of the full skirts were three rows of frills. They wore halo caps of tulle and small flowers, and carried bouquets of sweet peas and chrysanthemums in pastel shades. The flower girls wore white organdi sprigged with tiny roses, made on Empire lines with a frill at the hem, and halo caps of tulle and flowers. Their posies matched those of the bridesmaids. Mr J. S. Manchester was best man, and Mr Morton Medlicott acted as groomsman. The ushers were Messrs G. W. R. Osborne, Bernard Harrison, and Ken Manchester. After the ceremony the guests motored to Limestone Hills, where they were received by the bride’s mother, who wore a smart black georgette crepe frock and lace- coatee, and hat to match. Her bouquet was of bronze chrysanthemums. - Afternoon tea was served in a marquee on the lawn, the tables being bright with sweet peas, irises, scabias, and stocks in pastel shades. The wedding cake was surmounted by a gold cup which had been presented to the bride’s grandparents on the occasion of their golden wedding. The bride travelled in a navy windswept worsted frock trimmed with beige and silver buttons, her hat being of navy felt to match her frock. She carried a blue fox coat.
