EXQUISITE FLOWERS LEND FRAGRANCE TO DARGAVILLE WEDDING. j WHELAN—CUTHBERT The Holy Trinity Church in Dargaville was beautifully decorated by girl friends of the bride, Miss Alice Robena Cuthbert, on Thursday, when her marriage with Mr. James Ronald Whelan was celebrated. The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Cuthbert, of Mangawhare, -while the bridegroom is the fourth son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Whelan, of Tomarata, Wellsford. The Rev. J. C. Fussell officiated. Given away by her father, the bride wore a charming frock of cream crepe de chine with silver lace and georgette panels, and a veil to tone. White narcissi, cosmas and roses, relieved with, fronds of maidenhair fern and streamers to tone, composed her pretty bouquet. GEORGETTE AND LACE Wearing a very pretty frock of pink georgette with silk lace panels and carrying a bouquet of pale pink sweet peas, ivy, geranium, carnations and maidenhair fern, Miss M. Xewman was the attendant maid. Miss Mavis O’Brien made a dainty little flower girl in frilled crepe de chine. Mr. Percy Cuthbert, brother of the bride, acted as best man. Mrs. W. Hilliam presided at the organ. The large number of guests were entertained at the Kaipara Tea Rooms, after the ceremony.

’FLU v^CUPID North Shore Wedding Threatened MARRIED DESPITE MALADY ’Flu has been responsible for many upsets in social functions during the past few weeks, but it almost stopped a wedding on the North Shore a few days ago. However, the threatened stoppage was overcome. For several days prior to the event the bride-to-be was laid aside with the malady, and it was only by the exercise of great will power that she was able to get about on the eve of her wedding. But worse was to follow. The second bridesmaid and the groomsman fell victims to the ’flu and both had the mortification of spending the wedding day closely confined to their respective homes. However, the seriously-depleted party was at the church at the appointed hour on the day of the wedding. After the knot had been well and truly tied it was learned that the officiating clergyman had had to drag himself from a bed of influenza in order to keep the appointment with the bridal party. The only tinge of satisfaction in the whole story is the fact that the enforced absence of one bridesmaid and the groomsman prevented the party from beign “lop-sided” as it stood before the altar.
