The marriage of Edna Phyllis Clare, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Bruntlett, of "Willow Vale,” Kai Iwi, to Robert Chaston, only son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Capon, of Kai Iwi, took place on Thursday, September 17, at Christ Church, Wanganui. The Rev. W. Lambert officiated. The bride, who entered the church with her father, looked very sweet and winsome in a becoming gown of white and silver brocaded georgette. Long, full bishop sleeves fell from an effectively ruched shoulder line. The neckline was cowled and a swathed belt finished with a large pearl buckle encircled the waist. The long train flowing from the waist was adorned I with white satin roses and silver leaves.
