ELLIOTT—RANDALL. A quiet but pretty wedding was celebrated at St John's Church, Woolston, recently, of Lorna, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs G. H. Randall, of Christchurch, to Charles Fredric, eldest son of Mr and Mrs F. Elliott, of Taranaki. The Rev F. A. Tooley officiated. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked charming in a frock of ivory georgette, the bodice and skirt being inset with silver lace and shirred to the waistline where it was caught with a tiny spray of orange blossom. Her handmade veil, a gift to the bride, was arranged behind the head, fan fashion, and was held in place by a wreath of orange blossom and fell in uneven lines to the hem of the frock. She carried a shower bouquet of white touched with pink. She was attended by her sister, Merle, who wore a dainty shell pink crepe de chine frock, pin tucked and caught at the shoulders with pink ribbons. She carried a bouquet of mauve and pink flowers.
