COWIE-WILSON—WELLINGS

The wedding took place at St. Andrew’s Church this afternoon of Gladys, the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Wellings, of Auckland, formerly of Surrey, England, to Frederick Cowie-Wilson, the eldest son of Captain and Mrs. Robert Cowie-Wilson, of Hillsbro. The Rev. Lamb Harvie officiated and the bride was given away by her father. In a dainty frock of palest rose mariette, mounted on silver lace, Miss Wellings made an attractive bride. Her frock was made with a deeply-petalled skirt that opened in flower fashion to disclose the underdress of gleaming silver lace. Petal points attached the slender bodice to the skirt, and little trails of silken embroidery gave it added chic. A misty veil of rose pink tulle was worn and held in place with pink orange blossoms, and the bride carried a sheaf of rose-coloured flowers with here and there among them the soft relief of blue and mauve blooms. Mrs. Norman Wilson, who attended as matron of honour, wore a charming semi-Victorian frock of wistariamauve crepe de chine, bordered with a floral design. Her head-dress was of tulle to match her frock, and she carried an armlet of harmonising flowers. Little Gay Wilson tripped along the aisle as flower girl, wearing a sweetly pretty frock of buttercup georgette over pale pink crepe de chine, with tiny georgette frills around the skirt. Each frill was edged with dainty Guipure lac© and small silken rosebuds were strewn along the skirt at intervals. She wore a wreath of rosebuds in her curly hair and carried a basket of flower petals. A diminutive page boy, Master lan Mackay, looked very smart in a chic suit of white satin, with smocking in scarlet to give it a touch of colour. Mr. Lou Wilson, of Devonport, attended the bridegroom as best man. The reception was held at Royal Court after the ceremony, where a number of guests were received by th© bride’s mother, who wore a smart gown of gendarme blu© crepe de chine with a hat to tone. The bridegroom’s mother was wearing a frock of navy blue silk Bengaline and a navy blue hat. The bride and groom will spend their honeymoon at Norfolk Island.
