Every, and Robert Ramsay, son of Mr and Mrs George Brown, of Carterton. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. J. Couling. The bride, who made a charming picture, was escorted by her father. She wore cream-lace over satin, cut on Princess lines with train effect and heart-shaped neckline, which was finished with a narrow frill of georgette. The back of the bodice and tight fitting sleeves were trimmed with tiny buttons while the belt was of plaited georgette. She wore a wristlet of orange blossom which had been worn by the bridegroom’s mother, and touches of real orange blossom, the gift of Mrs Stent. Her veil of tulle forming a train, and finished with a coronet of pearls, was lent by Mrs Ralph Eyers, of Christchurch. The bridesmaids were Misses Gwennyth Every, of Mokau (sister), and Jean Riddeli, of Gisborne.
