At the Waingongoro Maori pa the other day the Maoris celebrated the wedding of two young Maoris—Abu Rae and Apika Skipper. The Manaia Witness says; “The wedding breakfast' was a lavish a flair. Sumptuous hardly describes it. The fact that the cost of providing it ran into £l5O will best convey an impression of the display and its dimensions. The four-tier wedding cake, as the phrase runs, was ‘the cynosure of every eye.’ It was the dominant, glittering fact of the function. The bride (Miss Skipper) was magnificently apparelled, and the attendant bridesmaids were only a little less radiant, the bridegroom being attired on approved pakeha lines. In keeping with Maori hospitality, everybody present was regarded as a wedding guest, and had a welcome place at the festive board.” FOR A WEAK STOMACH.
