WEDDING AT MAKARUA.

The wedding took place on Tuesday, October 24, at the residence of Mr and Mrs J. Flynn, of their daughter Naomi to Mr Allen Shanks, son of Mr G. Shanks of Kaukapakapa. The ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. Father Kelly, took place at noon, in the presence of a large circle- of friends and relations. The bride wore a becoming navy blue costume, with a pretty white hat and veil. She was attended by her sister, Miss M. Flynn, who wore a pretty creme frock and mob cap with touches of pink, and Miss E. Shanks, (sister of the bridegroom), who was attired in a dainty frock of white embroidery and mob cap. The bridegroom was attended by his brother Mr G. Shanks, as best man, and Mr G. Flynn as groomsman. After the ceremony guests to the number of sixty sat down to a sumptuous wedding breakfast, a feature of which was th© handsome cake made by the bride and iced and decorated by Mrs T. W. Hooper. After the customary toasts had been given and responded to, the party dispersed, many leaving by the afternoon1 express. The young couple drove to Kanohi, where their future home will be. They carry with them the good wishes of all.—[Own Correspondent]
