WEDDING BELLS

DOUGLAS— MENTON.

(From our- travelling correspondent.) A very pretty wedcang took place at the Catholic Cathedral, Christchurch, on November 25, when Mr. William Douglas, eldest son of Mr. James Douglas, of Amberley, and Miss Maggie Menton were united in the bonds or Matrimony. The ceremony was performed and the Nuptial Mass celebrated by the Very Rev. Father Price. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr. William Menton, looked charming in a costume of cream taffeta, trimmed with Maltese lace and silk ball trimming, and a large white picture hat with ostrich plumes. The bridesmaids were Miss Casey and Misses Maggie and Ella Gormley, nieces of the bride. The bridegroom's gift to the bride was a gold pendant, and the bridesmaids were the recipients of gold brooches. A number of friends of the bride and bridegroom were present at the subsequent wedding breakfast, which was laid at the Masonic Hotel. The health of the bride and bridegroom was proposed in a happy speech by Very Rev. Father Price, and that of the bridesmaids by Mr. James Power. The happy couple left on their honeymoon trip for Wanganui, accompanied by hearty good wishes from all their friends.
