WEDDING BELLS.

VICKERS— HUSE

A very pretty wedding, which occasioned great interest, was solemnised at the Wesleyan Church, Midhirst, on Easter Monday, when Miss Lottie Huse, second daughter of Mr and Mrs F. Huse, of Rose ‘Villa,’ Midhirst was united in the bonds of holy matrimony, to Mr Walter Vickers, also of Midhirst. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked charming in her dainty gown of silk Resilda Shantung, daintily trimmed with silk lace and bunches of satin roses. §he .also wore the orthodox veil and orange blossoms. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss E. Huse, as bridesmaid, who wore a dainty dress of Wedge wood blue silk taffeta, trimmed with satin niching and silk lace, and black beaver hat suitably trimmed to match. The bride and bridesmaid carried shower boquets of white roses and maidenhair fern, kindly made by Mrs Neverman, of Wanganui. The duties of best man were ably conducted by Mr Fred Huse, brother of the bride. The bridegroom’s present to the bride was a handsome gold pendant and chain set with amethyst and pearls, and to the bridesmaid a gold bracelet. The bride’s ■present to the bridegroom was a nice travelling rug. After the ceremony, a reception was held by the bride’s parents in the Town Hall, where over one hundred guests were entertained to a most tasteful breakfast. The Church and Town Hall were beautifully decorated by friends of the bride, with evergreens and flowers, for the occasion. The bride’s mother was attired in a black silk dress, beautifully trimmed with black silk lace. The happy couple left amid showers of rice for Wanganui, in the afternoon, en route for Auckland, for their honeymoon.
