The ways of guests at wedding ceremonies are frequently open to criticism from the viewpoint of bridegrooms and brides —and apparently more so in up-river settlements. A settler who recently visited Wanganui told of the exuberance of guests at a native wedding recently, when the married couple were bombarded with flour, liberally moistened with water. The flour, the guests afterwards explained, was used in the absence of rice, but the bridegroom undoubtedly regretted the substitution when he later endeavoured to restore the appearance of a suit purchased especially for the wedding (says the Chronicle).
