Wedding Ceremony.

Tbs Greytown English Church was crowded yesterday morning to witness the marriage of Mr John Knight to Miss Emily Fuller. The Rev Mr Bachelor, of Carterton, assisted by the Bev Mr I’orritt, conducted the service, aud the choir, with Mrs Knell at the organ, added to the impressiveness of the ceremony. There was a large number of friends of the bride present, her father, Mr John Fuller, being one of Greytown’s oldest settlers. Long before the bride arrived the Church was filled, the young ladies of the township and school children being present in large unmbers. When the bride entered the Church the choir sang a suitable hymn, and the bridegroom and the best man, Mr John Winteringham, met her with her train of bridesmaids at the foot of the altar. Mies Fuller looked charming aud herdiess was faultless. Indeed the wholetrain was very effectively and prettily dressed. The bridesmaids were—Miss Alice, Fanny, Victoria, Olive and Maud Fuller and Miss iJowoes; while two little boys—Masters Stacey aod Edward Fuller—made two capital pages. The bride was dressed in cream colored brocade! satin, trimmed with cream lace ; wreath of orange blossom, and veil of embroidered net. Bridesmaids—Miss Alice aud Fanny Fuller, sisters of the bride, heliotrope, nun's veiling, with cream lace, hats to correspond; Miss Downes and Miss Victoria Fuller, figured cream sateen, trimmed with cardinal, hat to correspond Miss Olive and Maud Ful er. pink figured sateen, hats to correspond. Pages—Master Stacey Fuller, as an officer, and Master Edward as a Highlander. Both were prettily dressed.

The ceremony over, Mrs Knell struck up the wedding march, and the party went into the vestry to sign the usual papers. The congregation lined the pathway from the church door to the waiting conveyances, and showered rice in bandfulls, insomuch that the bridegroom began to think he was in personal danger, and ordered the coachmen to drive off quickly. A large party assembled at the house of the bride’s father for breakfast, and the happy couple left for Wellington by the afternoon train. We beg to acknowledge the receipt of the usual wedding favors and wish Mr and Mrs Koigbt a prosperous and happy future.
