Heirloom Veil Worn By Miss Nancye Colbeck

THE many friends of Hiss Nancye Murry Colbeck had decorated St. Mark’s Church, Remuera, very beautifully with white and yellow flowers, for her wedding this afternoon.

The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Colbeck, of 17 Market Road, Remuera, and the bridegroom, Lieutenant-Commander Ronald Hunter Blair, R.N., D.S.C., of H.M.S. Laburnum, is the third son of Major and Mrs. Reginald Hunter Blair, of Broome House, Duns, Berwickshire, Scotland.

The wedding ceremony was performed by the Rev. G. C. Cruickshank, by Padre Robson, of H.M.S. Philomel, a#d the bride was given away by her father. The exquisite bridal gown was of soft ivory chiffon mounetd on palest blush pink chiffon. The long, slender corsage was embroidered with seed pearls, and the graceful skirt, corryposed of tiny frills, dipped to the ankles at the back. A train of tulle fell from the shoulders, and over her hair, caught at each side with orange blossom, was worn an heirloom veil of embroidered dull ivory tulle, which had belonged to the bride’s grandmother. A sheaf of St. Joseph lilies was carried. BRIDEGROOM’S GIFT The only pieces of jewellery worn by the bride were a beautiful diamond, pearl and emerald pendant, the gift of her mother and father-in-law, a.nd a diamond and pearl brooch, the gift of the bridegroom. Deep primrose yellow was the unusual shade chosen for the frocks of the bridal attendants. Miss Jean Lawford, Miss Leslie Waller, cousin of the bride, Miss Jocelyn Riddiford, cousin of the bride, and Miss Dolly Vaile, all wore chiffon frocks similarly made with long -close-fitting corsages and three-tiered skirts draped to one side and finished with a taffeta bow. They wore crepe de chine shoes of matching primrose, and their natural ballibuntal straw hats were trimmed with a band of deeper yellow. Each maid carried a sheath of yellow lilies with natural leaves. Little Annette Colbeck, niece of the bride, was a smart flowergirl in an ankle-length frock of primrose frilled georgette. She wore a narrow circlet of flowers and carried a Victorian posy. Lieutenant Thew, of H.M.S. Laburnum, was best man, and Lieutenant Westmacott (Laburnum), Lieut.-Com-mander Spencer (Veronica), and Dr. Quinn officiated as ushers.
