ORANGE BLOSSOMS

RAE—REID. The marriage of Miss Jane Reid, elder daughter of the late Mr Andrew Reid, of Geraldine, to Mr James Rae, younger son of Mr Robert Rae, of Geraldine, was celebrated last week in that pretty township. The ceremony (which took place at the residence of the bride’s mother, was very quiet, but was prettily effective. The Rev. A. Bruce Todd officiated, and the bride was given away by Mr John Mundell, a very old friend of the family. The bride, who was attended by two sisters as bridesmaids, was stylishly dressed in a handsome grey costume, trimmed with rich ivory satin and lace. She wore a bridal wreath and veil, and looked exceedingly well. Her beautiful bouquet was the present of Miss Knowles, of Geraldine. The two bridesmaids were becomingly gowned in blue costumes, relieved with white silk. The best man was Mr Robert Rae. After the wedding a sumptuous breakfast was served, and shortly after the bridal pair left for St. Andrew’s, where they will reside. The bride wore as a going-away dress a smart navy blue jacket and skirt, with cream vest and black hat, becomingly trimmed. Amongst the many wedding presents were: —
