WILS ON—BU C K LE Y At the Sacred Heart Church on Saturday afternoon, the marriage was celebrated of Catherine Anne, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs W. Buckley, Nile Street, to George Henry, only son of Mr and Mrs G. H. Wilson of Waimate. The Rev. Father W. Peoples, S.M., performed the ceremony. Mr Buckley escorted his daughter. Ivory french crepe de chine fashioned the bridal gown in becoming style with long bishop leeves fitting closely into narrow cuffs and cowl folds at the neck In which was tucked a spray of orange blossom. The corsage was relieved in front by a high pointed line, below which the frock moulded the figure to flute into deep folds about the feet. The enveloping veil of embroidered tulle formed a train and was held by a coronet of blossom and she carried a sheaf of shot silk roses. The bridal train was carried by her small sister, Eileen Buckley, who wore a frock of blue georgette made with long skirt hemmed with pleated frills and gathered to a high yoke and short puff sleeves trimmed with a frill. A blue ribbon was entwined in her hair and her posy was of cream silk roses. Another sister, Miss Josephine Buckley, was bridesmaid. She wore a picture hat of deep cream crinoline straw, finished with a cluster of flowers in contrast to her pervenche blue cloque frock. Shirring from the base of the round neck gave softness to the bodice, and it was also used to head the peplum at the waist. Two short flares comprised the sleeves. She wore cream silk gloves and carried an armlet of deep cream shot roses. Mr Victor Berryman of Waimate was best man. After the ceremony the guests assembled at the Stafford Rooms where: the reception was held.
