WEDDINGS.

Sir James Parr’s Daughter Married. SEIFERT—PARR. The marriage took place very quietly in St Aidan’s Church, Remuera, on Tuesday afternoon of Miss Marie Elizabeth (Betty) Parr, third daughter of Sir James Parr, of Victoria Avenue, and the late Lady Parr, to Mr Marshall Seifert, of Melbourne, Victoria. The ceremony was performed by the Rev R. L. Connolly. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a charming gown of Patou pink dull silk moulded to the figure, with a cowl neckline and skirt flaring into a small train. The sleeves, cut away from the shoulders, fell into a soft draped effect bordered with beaver fur, and after tapering to the elbow, finished in long close-fitting lines to the wrist. A picture hat of the same shade of pink, trimmed with flowers at the back, was also worn, and she carried a shower bouquet of gerberas to match. In attendance upon the bride was her sister, Miss Christine Parr, who wore a frock of peach-coloured silk net. The cape sleeves were finished with ruching and ruching bordered the hem of the very full flared skirt. Her picture hat and shower bouquet were to tone. Mr J. H. Parr was the best man. Following the ceremony the bridal party and immediate relatives, including Mrs W. F. Brumdage, aunt of the bridegroom, of Larchmont, New York, who had arrived from Australia the previous day, were entertained by Dr and Mrs L. A. Spedding at their home in Remuera Road. The bride travelled in a frock of beige crepe patterned in brown, and a small brown straw' hat to match. WOODS—CRISP. Pink and mauve daisies and cream lilies decorated the Spreydon Presbyterian Church for the wedding of Lynda, second daughter of Mr and Mrs J. D. Crisp, of Lyttelton Street, Spreydon, and Eric Hugh, third son of Mr and Mrs C. G. Woods, Avonside Drive. The ceremony was perfomred by the Rev Symonds and Miss Nancy Symonds was the organist. White georgette, made on simple but attractive lines, was worn by the bride, who was given away by her father. A dainty tulle veil fell in graceful folds over her frock, and she carried a bouquet of white flowers with touches of pale pink. Mrs M’Nab, sister of the bride, was matron of honour, her frock being of apricot crepe marocain. Flowers in the same tone composed her bouquet. Mr Ronald Woods was best man.

A reception was held later the home of the bride’s parents. Mrs Crisp wore a leaf-green frock of crepe nevada under a navy coat, her hat being navy also. The bridegroom’s mother was wearing a black tailored costume with a black and white hat.

For travelling, the bride had chosen a pale grey tailored suit and a grey hat lightly trimmed with red.
