WEDDING BELLS

; ;; SCHWARTZE—CORLEY. A wedding of interest, but quiet on account of a recent bereavement ; in the family, was solemnised at 'the' Church of the Assumption, Onehunga, on July 12, by Very Rev. Dean Hackett (Paeroa), assisted by Very Rev. Father Mahoney. The bride was Miss May Corley, second daughter of the late Mr James and Mrs. Winifred Corley, of ; Upper Vincent street, - Auckland, and the bridegroom Mr. Emil Schwartze, second son of Mr. and Mrs. K. G. Schwartze, of Alameda, California, formerly of Auckland. The bride looked .lovely, ■ dressed in a beautiful gown of ivory charmeuse satin, the bodice being almost entirely composed of point lace. Her richly embroidered tulle veil depended from a circlet of orange blossoms, and she carried an ivory-bound prayer-book in addition to her bridal bouquet. She also wore the bridegroom's gift, a pair of handsome diamond ear-rings. : The attendant bridesmaid was her" sister, Miss Margaret Corley, who wore her bridesmaid gift—a brooch, and carried a bouquet of white flowers having streamers of pink ribbon. Messrs. James and Denis Boland filled the roles of best man and groomsman respectively. • Mr.

’Schwartze presented • his , best man • with souvenir ■cf the occasion, this being a diamond and pearl scarf pin After the ceremony, the wedding party, repaired to the residence of Mrs. Boland, of Onehunga : (auht of the bride), and the wedding; breakfast was partaken of in the same room which had . been used *by the bride’s parents on-a similar occasion many years previously. The presents were numerous and valuable, and included several very substantial cheques. Following the breakfast, the newly-married couple departed on - their honeymoon trip to the Aranui and Waitomo Caves. Mr. and Mrs. Schwartze left' by the Aorahgi for San Francisco, where they will be joined by Miss Schwartze, and all will proceed on a tour of Europe. It is rather a coincidence that both bride and bridegroom’s parents were married at Onehunga in the Church of the Assumption. ' . i ;; ~■
