AN EVENING WEDDING

GOWN OF GEORGETTE AND LACE

PITT—CHEGWIDDEN A fully choral evening wedding took place at Holy Sepulchre Church recently, when Ethel Minnie, twin daughter of Mrs. M. Chegwidden, of Mount Eden, was married to John Herbert, youngest son of Mrs. M. Pitt, of Sydney. The officiating minister was the Rev. Gordon Bell, assisted by the Rev. R. Monteith. Mr. Trevor Sparling presided at the organ. The church had been beautifully decorated for the occasion by friends of the bride. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of Mr. W. L. Drube, of Hamilton, was charmingly gowned in ivory georgette and french lace. The drooping skirt with a deep vandyked hem of lace fell gracefully from a dainty, tight-fitting bodice, with yoke and long sleeves of lace. Her veil of embroidered silk tulle formed a train, and was held in place by orange blossoms and silver leaves. She carried a shower bouquet of roses and carnations. The bride was attended by Miss Greta Hyde, who wore a french model frock of rose beige georgette and lace, with hat to tone. Little Mary Clarke, of Waihi. niece of the bride, wearing a pale pink taffeta frock, acted as flower girl. Both attendants carried shower bouquets to tone with their frocks. Mr. George Tucker attended the bridegroom as best man, and Mr. C. Bridges acted as usher. After the ceremony, solos were sung by Mr. Bree, a member of the choir. Later a reception and dance were held in the Parish Hall. The guests were received by the bride’s mother, who wore a frock of nattier blue crepe de chine, with beige georgette and blue bangkok hat. During the wedding breakfast music was supplied by the Felix Orchestra.
