WEDDING BELLS

LANDERS— A quiet wedding was solemnised on Wednesday, July 2, at the Sacred Heart Church, Manaia, the contracting parties being Mr. John. Joseph Landers, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Landers, Kaupokonui, and Miss Frances Josephine Doyle, youngest daughter of the late Michael and Mrs. Doyle, Manaia. Father Sanderson officiated and' celebrated a Nuptial Mass. The bride, who was given away by her brother-in-law, Mr. P. Brophy, wore a smart tailored navy blue costume and blue hat, and carried a beautiful ivory-bound prayer-book, the gift of her sister (Sister M. James). The bridesmaid, Miss Doyle, wore a pretty grey dress and hat to match. Mr. Francis Landers was best man. The “Wedding March’’ was played by Mrs. Hilles as the bridal party left the church. After the ceremony the guests were entertained to breakfast at the residence of the bride’s mother. The bridegroom’s present to the bride was a handsome set of fox furs, and to the bridesmaid a gold bangle. The bride’s gift to the bridegroom was a set of silver-mounted hair brushes. The newly-wedded couple were the recipients of many useful presents, including several cheques. Mr. and Mrs. Landers left subsequently for Wanganui, vu route to Christchurch, to spend their honeymoon.
