Wedding.

PROCTER-QUARTERMAIN.

Yesterday afternoon at All Saints’ Church a very large number were present to witness the marriage of Frank Ernest, the youngest son of Mr and Mrs John Procter, to Violet, the youngest daughter of the late John Quartermain. Some considerable interest was attached to the union, as the bridegroom was most popular, and was a son of much respected old residents of this town. The ceremony was conducted by the Rev. H. F. Wilson, and the bride looked charming in a dove-coloured costume of fancy voile, -trimmed with cream silk and string insertion, and wore the usual orthodox veil and orange blossoms, and carried a handsome shower bouquet. The bride was attended by two nieces of the bridegroom as bridesmaids—Misses Barbara Young ahd Barbara Robertson—who Were dressed in cream with green and pink trimmings, The bride was given away by Mr Harry Procter, brother of the bridegroom, and the bridegroom was at-; tend by hi§ brothers, Charles and Thomas as groomsmen. The happy pair on emerging from the church were deluged with rice, and the bridal party drove to the residence of the bridegroom’s parents, where afternoon tea was partaken of, and the party photographed. The wedding cake was the gift of Mr and Mrs J. Procter. The honeymoon will be spent in the Feildlog district.
