WEDDING BELLS

HANSBURY—CLARE. A very pretty wedding (writes our Hokitika correspondent) was celebrated at St. Patrick's Church, Ross, on November 26, when Miss Margaret Cecilia Clare, third daughter of Mr.' P. C. Clare, was married to Mr. Timothy Edward Hansbury. The Rev. Father Hanrahan officiated. Misses Teresa and Kitty Clare were bridesmaids, and the two nieces of the bridegroom (Misses Bridey and Rita Coyle) were train-bearers. Mr. Moore gave the bride away, whilst Mr. Thomas Moye acted as best man. The bride was tastefully attired in a cream satin dress and the usual wreath and veil, and carried a beautiful shower bouquet. The bridesmaids were gowned in cream charm silk, with black chip hats. The bridegroom's present to the bride was a beautiful Kaiapoi travelling rug, whilst that of the bride to the bridegroom was a set of gold sleeve links. The bridegroom's presents to the bridesmaids were two gold initialled band rings. The happy couple were the recipients of a number of telegrams of congratulation and many costly presents, which testified to their popularity. A reception was afterwards held at the residence of the bride's parents, where the usual toasts were proposed and honored. Mr- and Mrs. Hansbury left Ross at 3 o'clock by motor car for Christchurch, where the honeymoon was spent.
