WEDDING

BAKER-—SMALL. A pretty wedding, which created a good deal of local interest was celebrated in All Saints’ Church on Easter Monday, when two popular young people were united in the holy bonds of matrimony by the Rev. W. H Walton, vicar. The contracting parties were Walter, only son of Mr Reeston Baker, and Marcia, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Small, of Foxton. The church was crowded with friends and well-wishers of the bridal couple. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a dress of satin marocain and crepe-de-chine with handsome coronet and veil and carried a shower bouquet. The bride was attended by Miss Dorothy Griffin (chief bridesmaid) who was attired in lavender georgette, coffee lace trimming and crinoline hat to tone, Miss Morgan (Palmerston North), apple green georgette, coffee iace trimming, crinoline hat to tone and little Joyce Ellwood (niece of the bride) charmingly attired in ivory laee and satin. Each of the above carried shower bouquets, the work of Mrs. F. Procter. Messrs T. and S. Small (the bride’s brothers) officiated as best man and groomsman respectively. As the party left the church they were liberally showered with confetti and good wishes. A reception was subsequently held at the Masonic Hall, where about 200 guests were entertained by the bride’s parents. The bride’s goingo way dress was a navy coat frock and she wore a fur coat, the gift of the bridegroom. The bridegroom’s gift to the bridesmaids were gold armlets and a wristlet watch to .Joyce Ellwood. The numerous gifts and cheques testified to the popularity of the happy couple. The honeymoon is being spent in the "’North and upon their return Mr. and Mrs. Baker will take up their residence in Foxton.
