WEDDING

WILSON—MACKAY. ■ A wedding of considerable interest took place on Saturday evening at Knox Church. Masterton, when Marjorie Graham, second daughter of Mr and Mrs IVI. G. Mackay, Cornwall Street, was married to Eric Stephen Wilson, second son of Mrs W. Wilson, Wrigley Street. Masterton. The officiating minister was the Rev. D. McNeur and Mr C. W. Kerry presided at the organ. Escorted by her father the bride made a charming picture in her white silk embossed taffeta Princess gown, with an oval train, the back being fln.ished with tiny buttons and loops. The long sleeves were pointed over the hands. Her white embroidered tulle veil was fashioned in Mantilla style, and fell to form a second train. A striking finish to the bridal toilette was a shower bouquet of dark red roses, The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Ruth Mackay (chief), Misses Joan and Nola Wilson (sisters of the bridegroom), and Miss Nancy McGuire (Wellington), a cousin of the bride. They were frocked alike in gowns of apple green georgette made with pretty shirred bodices and very full skirts. Their peasant belts were each laced with a silver cord, the long ends being finished with silver tassels. Smaller silver tassels trimmed the shirred sleeves and'silver headbands and shoes completed their ensemble. They each wore a string of Richelieu pearls and carried a dainty posy of pastel tinted flowers and ferns. The duties of best man were carried out by Mr Alan Goosman (Auckland). Messrs Alan Rigg, Ken Forrest, and Alan Mackay acted as groomsmen. The ushers were Messrs G. Ayson and G. Buick.

During the signing of the register a violin solo was rendered by Mr Graeme Ayson (Wellington). Mr Kerry accompanied him on the organ.
