WEDDING BELLS

1 - MATHE SON—COXON. l; A very pretty wedding, and one that proved 'of considerable interest to their many .friends, was solemnised at St. Joseph's Cathedral on August 6, when Rev. Father Buckley united in the bonds of Matrimony Mr. J. Matheson, of Invercargill, and Miss Brenda Coxon, of Dunedin. The bride, who was given away by her brother (Mr. J. Coxon), looked very dainty in a gown of pale apricot silk eoline, trimmed with point lace, net, and silk ball fringe. She wore the customary wreath and veil, and carried a white shower bouquet of choice hothouse flowers. The Misses Mellick and Irene Hilliker (niece) were bridesmaids, the former wearing a cream serge costume and black picture hat relieved with pale pink banksia roses, and Miss Hilliker white silk. The bride's present to the bridegroom was a- double gold Albert, while the bridegroom gave the bride a substantial cheque, the : chief bridesmaid a Nellie Stewart bangle, and the second a gold brooch. After the ceremony the guests adjourned to the Waratah Tea Rooms, where the breakfast was partaken of. Father Buckley, in a very happy speech, congratulated the newly married couple, and tendered some good advice. The other customary toasts were also duly honored. The happy couple left by the afternoon express for Invercargill, their future home, ' the bride' wearing a travelling costume of navy blue serge,' trimmed with oriental silk, and a becoming picture hat of black satin and ostrich plumes.
