Wedding.

On Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at All Saints' Church, Kelson, the marriage service was held by which Miss Emma Gertrude Harley, third daughter of Thomas Harley, brewer, of Nelson, was united to Mr John Walker Robinson, of Foxton, grazier.

; Though Tuesday morning broke cloudy and wet, yet just before the hour fixed for the wedding the sun broke out and the rest of the day was beautifully fine. May, this prove a happy augury for the young couple. The church was filled with a gailydressed throng, and very much interest was shown in the event. The service was read by the Rev. F. W. Chatterton, and the choir sang the usual hymns. The wedding march was played as the newly-wedded couple left the building. The bride was dressed in white merveilleux, with the usual veil and wreath of orange blossoms, and had a bouquet. The Misses Alice and Louisa Harley, sisters of the bride, and Gladys Harley, cousin of the bride, were the bridesmaids. Miss Alice was attired in white silk, edged with green, with hat to match, and the Misses Louisa and Gladys were dressed in pink silk, also with hats to match. They also carried baskets of flowers. The bridesmaids each wore a gold brooch, the gift of the bridegroom. The bridegroom was accompanied by Mr Halsted Harley, brother of the bride, as best man

The bride was given away by her father. Amongst those present we noticed the mother of the bride, Mrs Green aunt, Mrs George Green, Mrs C. Harley, and a large number of relations and friends.

After the wedding a move was made to the house where a breakfast was partaken by about sixty friends. The health of the bride and bridegroom was proposed by Mr Charles Harley, and was responded to in a pithy speech by the bridegroom. The bridesmaids' health was proposed by Mr Joseph Harley, and acknowledged on their behalt by Mr Halstead Harley. Mr Chatterton proposed the health of the parents of the bride, which Mr Harley suitably replied to. Other toasts were proposed and acknowledged. The gathering closed about eight o'clock, after having given a send-off to the young people, who left on their honeymoon tour. The bride was the recipient of a large number of presents, many of much value, all betokening the pleasant feeling which existed between her and her many friends.
