SOLDIER’S WEDDING

PARITU CEREMONY BURROWS—OSBORNE BRIDE IN SATIN BEAUTE A very pretty wedding was solemnised in the Y.M.C.A. in Paritu Camp on Tuesday evening, when Hazel June, fourth daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Osborne, of Bowen’s Camp, was married to Private Leo Burrows, of the Field Ambulance Corps, Burnham, second son of Mr. and Mrs. N. F. Burrows, Manutuke. The ceremony was performed by Elder Eru Te Ngaio, Nuhaka, and Mrs. E. Brown, Opoutama, presided at the piano.

The bride, who was escorted to the hall on the arm of her father, wore a slim-fitting white satin beaute frock with long sleeves, and the corsage showing a V-shaped neckline. Her beautifully embroidered veil, with long scallops, was held in place with a spray of orange blossom, while a halo of pearls and orange blossom formed a coronet. A bouquet of sweet peas, miniature arum lilies and maidenhair fern completed the ensemble. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Ivy Osborne, who wore a frock of white pleated silk with red buttons, with blue juliet cap, and carried a bouquet of sweet peas and maidenhair fern.

Mrs. Osborne, the bride’s mother, wore a nigger brown floral silk fro'ck, with hat to match, and carried a bouquet of Iceland poppies and sweet peas, intermingled with maidenhair fern.

The best man was Mr. C. Burrows, brother of the bridegroom. After the ceremony a delightful reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents, the drawing-room being beautifully decorated with sweet peas, intermingled with maidenhair fern.’ The toast to the bride and bridegroom was proposed by Mr. M. Hoggard, and Mr. P. Lowe suitably replied. Mr. C. Burrows proposed the toast to the parents of the bride. The bride and bridegroom left later by car for the north, the bride travelling in a smart frock of pleasant design.
