A POPULAR WEDDING

FULLER—CRADDOCK St. Matthew’s Church was the scene last evening of a charming wedding that created considerable interest throughout film and theatrical circles in New Zealand, when Eileen Augusta, the daughter of Mrs. A. A. Craddock,* of Ponsonby, was married by Canon Grant Cowen to Erroll, the son of the late Mr. J. A. Fuller and Mrs. Fuller, of Wellington. The bride is well known in Auckland and a large number of her friends were present at the church and at the reception, while every film exchange in New Zealand seemed to have a representative among the many friends of the bridegroom who is the Auckland manager of the First National Film Exchange. Simply fashioned on slender and graceful lines the bridal frock was of gleamng ivory satin. Over it fell a long and beautiful veil of handembroidered tulle, caught at each side of the bride’s head with a tiny circlet of orange blossoms. Her bouquet was exquisitely composed of lilies, white roses and fern daintily mingled together. Two maids attended her, wearing delightful frocks of periwinkle blue georgette with dainty hems of silver tissue. Each wore a quaint little cap of rose pink tulle and carried the most delightful muff prettily massed with tiny flowers in tones of cyclamen, pink and and blue. Streamers of pink and blue tulle gave a dainty finish to the muffs. The bridesmaids were the Misses H. Milne and K. Hunt. Mr. W. Power carried out the duties of best man, and Mr. Mcßrearty acted as groomsman. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr. N. B. Craddock. After the ceremony a reception was held at the Blue Pavilion, where the guests were received by the mother of the bride, Mrs. A. A. Craddock, who wore a handsome gown of petunia shaded georgette, with a toque of petunia panne velvet, and a fur wrap. Her bouquet was of violets. Among the guests were the following:— Mrs. R. W.
