WEDDING BELLS

MARTIN—DUNFORD. On Saturday, October 25, a very pretty wedding was solemnised at St. Patrick's Basilica, South Dunedin, the contracting parties being Mr. George Thomas Martin, of Gore, and Miss Emily Dunford, daughter of Mr. William Dunford, of Anderson's Bay. Rev. Father Delany performed the ceremony. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a dainty frock of ivory satin, richly trimmed with lace and orange blossoms, the usual wreath and veil, and carried a shower bouquet. She was attended by her" three sisters as bridesmaids (Misses Jean, Martha, and Teresa Dunford), who were dressed in pale pink ninon over pink silk, with dainty hats to match. They carried bouquets of sweet peas and pansies, with streamers of pink and heliotrope. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. J.

Quinn as best man, and Mr. James Dunford as groomsman. The bridegroom’s present to the bride was a diamond and pearl pendant, and to the bridesmaids, Misses Jean and Martha Dunford, he presented pendants, and to Miss Teresa Dunford a diamond and ruby brooch. The bride’s present to the bridegroom was a travelling case. After the ceremony the party adjourned to the residence of the bride, where the wedding breakfast was served, Rev. Father Delany presiding. The usual toasts were duly honored, and many kind things were said about the happy couple. Late in the afternoon they left for the south en route for Melbourne, where the honeymoon is to be spent. The bride’s travelling costume was a champagne colored cloth with oriental trimmings and pretty floral hat. The presents were numerous and costly, and included several cheques.
