WEDDINGS.

LIETZ—DAY. An evening wedding was celebrated recently in St John’s Church, Woolston, when Marjorie, younger daughter of Mr and Mrs 11. G. Day, Woolston, was married to Fredrick William, only son of Mr and Mrs W. Lietz, of Auckland. The Rev F. A. Tooley officiated, and Mr G. Claydon, brother-in-law of the bride, presided at the organ. The church was artistically decorated by friends of the bride. The bride, who was given away by her father, chose for her wedding frock a pretty shell pink georgette. The bodice was slightly ruched with long tight sleeves. Her full daintily frilled skirt falling long at each side gave an uneven hemline effect. Her tulle embroidered veil fell in graceful folds forming a train, and was held in place by a coronet of orange blossoms with clusters of orange buds over the ears. She carried a shower bouquet of pink roses, sweet peas and maidenhair fern. Miss Olive M’Cree, cousin of the bride, attended as bridesmaid, and wore a sleevless frock of lemon georgette with a tight fitting bodice with lace yoke and a flared skirt which hung in four points. She wore a net cap with silver and lemon trimmings, and carried a bouquet of lemon roses and fern. Mr Donald Davis attended the bridegroom as best man. After the ceremony a reception was held in Dixieland. The bride’s mother received her guests wearing a navy blue crepe de chine dress relieved with fawn georgette, a black silk coat and navy blue hat to tone. She carried a bouquet of red roses. The bridegroom’s mother was unable to be present. Mrs G. Claydon, sister of the biide, wore a frock of floral green crepe de chine with pale green georgette trimming and hat to tone. When the bride and bridegroom left later for their honeymoon the bride was wearing a vieux rose crepe de chine jumper suit with a brown face cloth coat with seal collar and cuffs and hat to match. JACKSON—KENNEDY. On the last day of 1929, at Geraldine, the wedding took place of William Hawton Jackson, head master of the secondary department of the Geraldine District High School and formerly of Invercargill, to Ellen Cecilia, second daughter of Mr J. Kennedy, Mayor of Geraldine. The ceremony was solemnised at the church of the Immaculate Conception, the officiating priest being the Rev J. Kennedy, the bride’s brother, assisted by the Rev J. Herbert. The bride was attended by two of her sisters, the Misses Mary and Madeline Kennedy, as bridesmaids, while two of her cousins, Madeline and May Earl, acted as flower girls. Mr Peter Kennedy (Wellington), brother of the bride, was best man, and Ml Gerald M’Quilkin (Ashburton) was groomsman. ' The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father, wore a frock of ivory georgette with a long, scalloped skirt falling to the ground at the back. The closely fitting bodice was of silver embossed georgette, the same material forming the front panel of the frock. She wore a beautifully worked, scalloped oval veil forming a train. Her headdress was a brilliant tiara coronet with silver lace instead of the usual orange blossom. Her shoes were of ivory satin. She carried a sheaf of arum lilies and ropes of pearls completing her toilet. The bridesmaids wore frocks of pale flame georgette, frilled and made shepherdess fashion, short in front and falling long at the back. The bodice were tightly fitting, and were relieved with shoulder posies of heliotrope georgette.
