WEDDING BELLS

- DUFFIN—GRAHAM. (From our travelling correspondent.) St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Auckland, was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Wednesday, November 12, when Mr. James Dufiin, of Auckland, and Miss M. Graham, of Stirlingshire, Scotland, were united in the bonds of Matrimony. The bride, who wore a pretty white silk costume, and veil, was accompanied by her sister (Miss B. Graham) and the little Misses K. Dufiin and A. McVeagh, as bridesmaids, whilst Mr. H. Dufiin (brother of the bridegroom) was best man. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father O’Malley. At the breakfast, which was held at the residence of Mr. H. Dufiin, a number of friends and relatives assembled, amongst those present being Rev. Fathers O’Malley and O’Doherty (St. Patrick’s), Rev. Father Forde (St. Benedict’s), and Rev. Father Brennan (Te Kuiti). The toast of the newly-married couple was proposed by Father O’Malley, who wished them every happiness and blessing in their married life. Other toasts proposed were The parents of the bride and bridegroom,’ by Father O’Doherty, supported . by Councillor P. J. Nerheny, J.P., and responded to by Mr. Puffin ; ‘The bridesmaids,’ by Mr. J. J. Moriarty, and responded to by Mr. Dufiin, jun.; ‘The clergy,’ by Mr. W.'Wright and responded to by Fathers Brennan and Forde.
