WEDDING.

REID—VIVIAN. An evening wedding was celebrated recently at St Luke’s Church, Manchester Street, when Ruby, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs J. T. Vivian, Sockburn, was-married to Forbes, second son of Mr and Mrs Andrew Reid, Gore. The Rev G. W. Dent performed the ceremony, and Mr Lomas presided at the organ. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr Noel Vivian, wore a becoming gown of ivory georgette. A diamente girdle defined the waist-line, and the long tight-fitting sleeves fell in points over the hands. The skirt, worn ankle-length, was flounced with ivory georgette underlined with coral pink. Her filmy veil, edged with French lace, formed a train, and was arranged with sprays of orange blossom falling to the shoulders. She carried a bouquet of pale pink and white hothouse flowers. Two bridesmaids were in attendance. Miss Daisy Myers wore a lagoon blue georgette froclf with a fully flared skirt and a dainty coatee in the same shade, finished with quaint frillings and white fur collar and cuffs. Her hat was of felt and velvet to tone and she carried a bouquet of blue and lemon hothouse flowers. Miss lona Wilkie, second bridesmaid, w<pre a coral pink georgette frock, similarly made to that of the chief bridesmaid, with a felt hat to match, and she carried a bouquet of pink and mauve hothouse flowers. The flower girl, Audrey Vivian, niece of the bride, wore an early Victorian frock of nile green georgette with a bonnet to match. She carried a basket of Iceland poppies. Mr Charles Matherson was best man, and Mr Norman Vivian groomsman. As the bride was leaving the church she was presented with a lucky horseshoe by Phyllis Cusack. After the ceremony, over sixty guests were entertained at the tea rooms. Mrs A. Vivian wore a long, flared, navy georgette frock under a navy lace coat, her hat being of wine fur felt. Autumn-tinted flowers mingled in her bouquet. For the wedding tour the bride had chosen a Lido blue ensemble with a smart hat to tone and a skunk necklet. Her coat was of musquash. Mr and Mrs F. Reid’s future home will be in Nelson.
