A SEPTUAGENARIAN WEDDING IN AUCKLAND. A wedding of somewhat unusual interest was celebrated at the Mount Eden Congregational Church last week, when Mrs. Sarah Goodwin (nee Roul), aged 73, was married to Mr. A. Brooks, a youthful-looking septuagenarian. Several hundred eager watchers who had been unable to gain entrance to the building congregated outside in order to fill the air with rice, confetti, and good wishes as Mr. Brooks escorted his bride from the church.
