The bridesmaid, Miss E. McCormick, cousin of the bride, was prettily attired in a white silk dress, hand-embroidered, and also carried a bouquet. Mr A. McCormick officiated as best man. Mrs F. K. Moody played the Wedding March as the bridal party approached the altar. The Rev. Father Jansen performed the wedding ceremony. Showers of rice wera in evidence as the brile and groom left the church. A sumptuous wedding breakfast was partaken of at the residence of the bride’s parents. Father Jansen, in a neat speech, proposed the health of the bride and her consort, which was enthusiastically honoured. The bridegroom responded in suitable terms. The happy couple left by motor car en route to Hamilton amid the good wishes of their friends. . The bridegroom’s gift to the bride was a beautiful gold bangle, and to the bridesmaid a pretty gold brooch set with pearls and rubies. The wedding presents were numerous, useful, and ornamental.
