WEDDING BELLS.

HANNAN — CROWE.

A very pretty wedding was celebrated at the Church of the Holy Name, Ashburton, on November 21, when Mr. Michael Hannan was married to Miss Ellen Crowe, eldest daughter of the late Mr. Patrick Crowe, of Leeston. The Very Rev. Dean O'Donnell officiated. Mr. William Laffey acted as best man. The bridesmaids were Misses Mary and Kate Crowe (sisters of the bride). The bride looked charming in a white embroidered robe trimmed with Valenciennes lace with tulle veil and wreath of orange blossoto, and carried a lovely bouquet. The bridesmaids wore electric blue dresses, prettily trimmed with cream silk, white Leghorn hats trimmed with cream chiffon and ostrich tips. The bridegroom's present to the bride was a very handsome brooch, he also presented gold and ruby brooches to the bridesmaids. After the ceremony a large number of friends were entertained at breakfast in the Templar Hall, when the Very Rev. Dean O'Donnell proposed the health of the newly-wedded couple. The presents were both costly and numerous. The bride and bridegroom left by the express for Dunedin to spend the honeymoon.
