SMALL—COLLINS. This morning at 11.30 a pretty wedding was held in All Saints’ Church, the Rev. H. P. Wilson being the officiating minister. The event was one of much interest, the church being filled with friends, as the bride is one who was born and spent her life in the town. The weather was not the nicest that might have been chosen as a heavy gale was raging, but, happy augury, the sun shone out as the party came to church, and remained shining. During the service two hyms were sung by the choir, Mrs England presiding at the organ, and she played the bride and bridegroom out of church with the wedding march. The bride looked charming, wearing a cream silk dress tsimmed with cream silk insertions; with the usual

' wreath and veil. She carried a very hated some shower boqust. Tfh# brideamaides were Miss Edith v-ojllifia and Miss Alice Small, sisters ofjthe contracting parties, who were dt'ossed. is grey voile, trimmed with french insertion with glace siVic -tappings, they also carried bonnets. 'The bride (Mirian May) is the •daughter of Mr and Mrs Charles Collins, of Union Street, who are old and. respected residents of the \ town. Mr Arthur Small, the bridegroom, lives in the Hawkes Bay Province, and was attended by his brother, Mr Hugh Small, as best man, and Mr Charles Symons as groomsman. The young couple proceeded to the bride’s house where a very nice afternoon tea was provided. They left by train this afternoon. Very many presents test!fled to the fact of the young people being very popular, and in common with their friends we wish them all the good fortune that can be hoped for.
