Orange Blossoms.

MOLTJRON—'F APR LEV. A very pretty wedding solemnised yesterday at the residence of Mr and Mrs Fairley (Johnston Street), when their second daughter, “Jessie,” was united in matrimony to Allen F. Mollison, late of Dunedin, but now of Wanganui, the officiating Minister being the Rev. Mr Southern. The Bride, who looked very charming, was dressed in grey voile, long basque, lace and satin frimmings, veil and orange blossoms. She was attended by Miss Baxter (Dunedin) and her sister, Miss May Fairley, who wore, the former cream corduroy cloth dress, the latter white muslin.' Mrs Fairley, the bride's mother, wore black merv. The best man was Mr J.' Urquhart Macdonald, After the ceremony was over, the company sat down to a light repast, and the health of the newly wedded couple was proposed in felicitous terms by Mr Macdonald, and suitably acknowledged. Mr Reade proposed the health of the bride and bridegroom, and Mr Macdonald was again conspicuous in the toasts of the bridesmaid. The health of Mr and Mrs Bird, the latter being a sister of the bride, was not forgotten? Owing to the unfortunate accident caused by the floods to the railway between Foxton and Palmerston North, a number of friends from the last named place were unable to attend, ‘ The bridegroom’s present to the bride was a diamond ring; to Miss Baxter a greenstone dagger, and to Miss Fairley, heartshaped locket set in pearls and rubies. The wedding presents were not only numerous, but of a very choice nature. The bride’s travelling dress consisted of a dark red cloth costume relieved with cream satin front pieces. Hat of of white velvet, grey and white feather, red berries. The happy couple left shortly after 4 p.m. amidst a shower of rice for Palmerston N., en route for Wanganui, where the honeymoon will be spent. Our best wishes go with them. In the evening, Mr and Mrs Fairley held a social, in which music and progressive euchre was indulged in. When the VMp* finally broke up everyone felt rust they had had a most enjoyable day.
