WEDDING.

ORMSBY—SYMES. A wedding which created a great deal of interest in Otorohanga took place in St. Bride's Church last week, when Miss Dora Mary Symes, second daughter of Mr Symes, was married to Mr Arthur Ormaby. The Rev. E. S. Wayne conducted the ceremony. The bride was attired in a pretty dress of soft white spotted net trimmed with Valenciennes lace, with a spray of orange blossoms across the corsage. She wore a coronet of orange blossoms and myrtle leaves, and a prettily embroidered veil of Brussels net, and carried a shower bouquet of white narcissi and asparagus i'ern. Three maids of honour—Miss D. Johnson, Miss Ormsby, and Miss Dolly Burnand — were in attendance. All the bridesamids carried pretty bouquets of white and pink flowers with long ribbon streamers. The bridegroom was attended by Mr McGruthers as best man and Mr P. Fisher as groomsman. At the close of the ceremony Miss Johnson palyed Mendelsohn's Wedding March, and the bridal party drove off through showers of rice to the residence of Mr and Mrs Symes, where a lavish afternoon tea was laid out in a marquee, where various toasts were honoured. Mr and Mr Ormsby left in the afternoon en route for Rotorua,where the honeymoon is to be spent. Mrs Ormsby travelled in a green velvet costume, with which was worn a large black felt hat trimmed with a jet and, large feather rosette, and drooping plumes.
