A CHARMING WEDDING.

MORRISON—VUG LAR. A POPULAR GOUPLE. A wedding of unusual charm and interest was solemnised in the Methodist Church, Paeroa, on Wednesday afternoon, when Miss Lulu Vuglar, younger daughter of Mr and Mrs T. P. Vuglar, was married to Mr Hans W. Morrison, second son of Mq and Mip John Morrison, of Netherton. The fact that the parents of both bride and bridegroom were'old and very highly esteemed residents, and also tiiat the happy couple had been born and reared in the district, gave an added interest to the union. Both were popular, the bride being particularly s-o, having been “Queen” on two occasions when money was being raised for our soldiers ; besides this, her position on the telephone exchange for some years brought her into toucn witli a very wide 1 circle of people. The church, which had been decorated with arum lilies, was. packed to overflowing by guests and others interested. The ceremony was choral, and as, the bridal party entered the church the organ peeled forth the wedding march, and afterwards the hymn “The Voice that breathed o’er Eden” was sung. The Rev. A. M. Costain conducted the ceremony.

The bride, who was. given away by her father, looked very sweet dressed in a beautiful gown of creme brocaded crepe-de-chine, accordian pleated, and georgette trimming with silver ornaments and orange blossoms. Her veil was of white tulle with a coronet- of orange blossoms, and she carried a bouquet of white daisies-. She was attended by her sister Nellie as bridesmaid, who wore a beautiful dress of mauve brocaded crepe-de-chine with white hat and mauve feather trimmings, and carried a pretty mauve bouquet. The bridegroom was accompanied by his brother, Mr John Morrison, as best man. The bride’s mother w r as very tastefully frp-cked in a brown costume.

After the wedding ceremony the party, consisting of upwards, of one hundred guests, retired to the Criterion Hotel, where a lavish wedding breakfast awaited them. The tables had been most beautifully decorated, while’ immediately over the threedeckeifewedding cake, and suspended from the ceiling, was a huge wedding bell, which gave a finishing touch to the decorations of the large diningroom. After the toast of “The King” had been duly honoured the Rev. Costain in a very happy strain proposed the health of the bride and bridegroom, which was- drunk amidst the hearty singing of “For they are jolly good fellows,” follnwed by three hearty cheers.. The bridegroom suitably returned thanks on behalf of Mrs Morrison and himself, and proposed he toast of “The Bridesmaid.” After replying to the toast Mr J. Morrison read out a. large number of telegraphed congratulations that had been received by the bride. The health of the parents of the bride was ably proposed by Mr W. J. Towers, and bld and close friend of the family, to wliich Mr Vuglar responded. Mr F. E. Flatt proposed the health bf the bridegroom’s parents, Mr and Mrs John Morrison, to which Mr. Morrison responded. During the breakfast songs were given by the Rev. Cos.tain, Mrs Marshall, and Mr E. Edwards, Miss Clarice Taylor playing the accompaniments. Many of the guests visited the home of Mr and Mrs Vuglar and viewed the numerous and choice presents tiiat the bridal couple had received, which included quite a number of cheques. A present from the Methodist Choir and Sunday School, of which the bride was an active member, was a tea set. The bouquets carried by both the bride and bridesmaid were gifts from Miss Rickard. The bridegroom’s present to the bridesmaid was a gold armlet. In the evening a dance was held in the Criterion dining-room, and a very enjoyable time Was spent.
