NAPIER WEDDING

CONOLE—MATCHETT

BECOMING PICTURE FROCK

A pretty wedding was quietly solemnised on November 18. in St. Patrick’s Church, Napier, when Joy Hinemoa, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Matehett, Rotorua, was married to Thomas Stanley, son of Mr. and Mrs. T, J. Conole, Tokomaru Bay. The Rev. Father Casey performed the ceremony.

The bride entered the church on the arm of her uncle, Mr. J. E. Copas. wearing a becoming picture frock of floral georgette shaded in autumn colourings. It was fashioned on long Empire lines and she wore gold shoes and a soft crinoline hat trimmed with velvet ribbons. Her bouquet was a sheaf of white roses.

The bride was attended by a matron of .honour, Mrs. R. A. Graham, who wore a pretty frock of mermaid green floral georgette made on similar lines to the bride’s gown. Her smart beige hat was trimmed with veiling and green flowers and she carried a bouquet of pink roses. The duties of best man were carried out by Mr. Richard Conole. Following the ceremony a wedding breakfast was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Copas, Marewa. When the bride and bridegroom left on a trip to Taupo and Rotorua the bride travelled in a smart navy blue frock made with a cowl neckline and very full skirt. Her accessories were in white.
