Miss Phillips was formerly a member of the nursing staff of the Gisborne Hospital, and Mr Bunny was in the Loan and Mercantile office here for some time. The beautiful Easter floral decorations gate the church quite a festive appearance, and as the flowers were still fresh, they added to the attractiveness of the bridal party. The Ven. Archdeacon Calder officiated. The bride looked very graceful and winsome in a lovely trained dress of ivory duchess satin. The skirt and train were finished with a kilted flounce of chiffon, which was finished in front at the right side with a large bow of satin ribboD, and on the left side with a long garland of orange blossoms, which fell from the waist to near the hem of the skirt. The bodice was mado with transparent yoke and sleeves of ruehed chiffon, and the front draped with chiffon caught with orange blossoms. She also wore a coronet of orange blossoms, tulle veil, and carried a beautiful shower bouquet. Miss Lily
