WEDDING

BREEN—PALAMONTAIN. A very pretty wedding was celebrated recently at St. Matthew’s Church, Masterton, the contracting parties being Verna Constance, younger daughter of Mr and Mrs W. J. Palamontain, and Eugene Augustus (R.N.Z.A.F.), only son of Mrs M. A. Breen. The bride looked charming in a gown of white embossed satin cut on slim-fitting lines, and flared to form a scalloped train. The long sleeves were scalloped at the wrists. The silk embroidered tulle veil (lent by a sister of the bride) fell from a coronet of roses. She carried a shower bouquet of begonias, freezias, chrysanthemums and maiden hair fern. The bride was attended by Miss May Fergusson, who was frocked in scarlet silk velvet with matching cap and gold shoes and necklet (the gift of the bridegroom). Her bouquet was of gold chrysanthemums and scarlet cyclamen. The bridegroom was attended by Aircraftman Bruce Rowe (R.N.Z.A.F.), as best man. After the ceremony the wedding party visited the public hospital where the bridegroom’s mother is a patient. The guests were entertained in the Savage Club Rooms, being received by Mrs W. J. Palamontain, who was dressed in a black suit with accessories to tone, and Mrs S. J. Somerville (sister of the bridegroom) who wore a blue suit with black accessories. Later, Sergt.-Pilot and Mrs Breen left for the south, Mrs Breen wearing a black frock braided in white, with black accessories.
