WEDDING BELLS.

The residents of Waikerikeri Valley and surrounding district assembled in considerable numbers at Waikerikeri on Wednesday last week, (says the Banstan Times), to witness the celebration of the marriage of Mr. G. Harming to Miss Mary Ellen Keliher, eldest daughter of the late Mr. M. P. Keliher. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Hunt. The bride, who looked charming in a handsome dress of Florence silk, was given away by her brother, Mr. M. Keliher. The bridesmaids were Misses M. and H. Keliher, and Miss Alice Partridge, while the groomsmen were Messrs. R. and J. Harming and C. Keliher. After the ceremony, the guests adjourned to a tent, specially erected, and partook of the refreshments so liberally provided. In proposing the health of the bride and bridegroom the Rev. Father Hunt, in a felicitous speech, on behalf of himself and those present, wished the young couple health and prosperity. Mr Harming briefly returned thanks for the kind wishes expressed by the guests. A large number of handsome and suitable presents were received by Mr. and Mrs. Harming.
