WEDDING BELLS

COUGH LAN— SCANNELL, A quiet but very pretty wedding took place in the Cave Catholic Church on June 1, when Miss Margaret Agnes Scanned, daughter of Mrs. and the late Michael Scanned, of Ma Ware, was married'to Mr. S. Goughian, son of Mrs. and the late Simon Goughian, of Kerrytown. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Le Petit, who also celebrated a Nuptial Mass. The bride, who was given away by her brother (Dr. F. A. Scanned, of Temuka) was every becomingly attired in a dress of ivory duchesse satin with pearl trimmings, and an overdress of silk shadow lace, caught with orange blossoms, a spray also decorating the bodice. An exceptionally pretty and uncommon bridal veil was worn, this being of Egyptian silk work, with a border of handmade lace, a gift from her brother (Dr. W. G. Scanned, of the Main Expeditionary Force). It was arranged in Spanish mantilla style, with pearls and orange blossoms. The bridesmaid, Miss K. Scanned, wore a. very pretty dress of pale blue crepe-de-chine, made in three tier effect, and trimmed with pearls and pale pink ninon. Her hat was of black velvet with pale pink flower. Roth bride and bridesmaid carried shower bouquets of white chrysanthemums, maiden hair, and asparagus. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. M. Bourke, of Awatuna, as best man. After the ceremony the party proceeded to the residence of the bride’s mother, ‘ Kiskaem,’ Ma. Waro, where the wedding breakfast was partaken of. Later in the day Mr and Mrs. Goughian left for the south, where the honeymoon was spent, the bride wearing a costume of navy serge with white stripe, and a grey velvet hat with large black ostrich plume and a set of squirrel furs. Many handsome presents were received, including one from the householders of the Monavale School, of which the bride was sole teacher, and another from the members of the Albury Church Choir, the bride being one of its members.
