WEDDING BELLS

MORRISON—O'CONNOR. A very interesting and attractive wedding was celebrated at St. Patrick's Church, Napier, on April 21, when Miss Margaret Mary. O'Connor, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James O'Connor, of Napier, was united in the bonds of Matrimony to Mr. Timothy Joseph Morrison, of Wellington, and second son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Morrison, of Blenheim. A Nuptial Mass was celebrated by the Rev. Father O'Sullivan. The church was. crowded with friends of the bride and bridegroom, who are exceedingly popular. The bride was attired in ivory satin charmeuse with honiton lace and pearl trimmed, and looked winsome in Juliet cap, and the usual veil and wreath. She was supported by her sister (Miss May O'Connor) and Miss Mary Morrison (sister of the bridegroom), who wore dainty cream serge costumes with picture hats to match. The bride and bridesmaids carried handsome bouquets. The bridegroom was supported by his brother (Mr. W. F. Morrison), while the groomsman's duties were carried out by Mr. S. J. O'Connor (brother of the bride). The bride was given away by her father. The bridegroom's present to the bride was a handsome peridot and pearl necklace and pendant, to Miss O'Connor he gave a gold curb bangle, and to Miss Morrison a gold wristlet watch. The bride presented the bridegroom with a gold locket. After the ceremony the party sat down to the wedding breakfast daintily laid out in a marquee at the bride's residence, where Rev. Father Goggan proposed the toast of the newly-wedded couple. The presents were numerous and included many handsome silver plate articles, prominent amongst which was a beautiful set of cutlery from C. 11. Cranby, Ltd., in whose employ the bride' was for many years; a useful dinner service to Mr. Morrison from his fellow-boarders in Wellington, and several substantial cheques. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison left by the afternoon train to spend their honeymoon in the South Island, the bride's going-away dress being a tailor-made navy blue costume with hat to match.
