WEDDING BELLS

JOHNSON—MAIN. The marriage nuptials of Mr. Oliver Johnson, of the staff of the Pahiatua Herald, and Miss Margaret Main, New Plymouth, were celebrated at the Primitive Methodist Church yesterday, the Rev. James Guy officiating. The bride was attired in a cream silk taffeta dress pin-tucked, and wore the orthodox wedding veil and orange blossoms, and also carried a handsome bouquet of water lilies relieved with delicate flowers and maidenhair fern. Miss Bella Hart, who accompanied the bride as bridesmaid, wore a white embroidered overall muslin, bodice and sleeves tucked; Tuscan hat swathed with chiffon and spray of pink Japanese cherry blossom; pink shower bouquet of shaded sweet peas, orchids, maidenhair fern, lycopodium and very delicate asparagus fern. The bridegroom was supported by Mr. T. Williams. Mr. Main, father of the bride, gave her away. For the ceremony the church was tastefully decorated by the lady friends of the bride, a feature being a' lloral wedding bell. Miss Ibbotson presided at the organ, playing the Wedding March as the newly-wedded pair left the church. Afternoon tea was partaken of at the Hygienic rooms after the ceremony, and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson left by the 4.25 train. The bride's going away dress was an oriental blue silk striped voile, braided with black and cream guipure, lace yoke, and cream twite hat with flowers. A very large number of presents received by the parties, among which were a handsome silver-mounted biscuit barrel and autograph album (partially filled) from the Christian Endeavor Society and the Sunday School, with which the bride had been actively associated for some time.
