WEDDING BELLS

NOLAN— PEARSON

A very pretty wedding took place at St. Joseph's Cathedral, Dunedin, on Wednesday, September 2. The Rev. Father Coffey officiated. The contracting parties were Mr. W. P. Nolan, of the Railway Department, youngest son of the late Mr John Nolan, Middlemarch, and Miss Constance Pearson, youngest daughter of the late Richard Brooks Pearson, of Dunedin. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr W. K. Pearson, Lawrence, was attended by Miss Bevin (niece of the bride), as bridesmaid, Mr. W. O'Leary, Dunedin, acting as groomsman. The bride was attired in a very pretty costume of ivory silk, with court train, and wore the usual wreath and veil. The bridesmaid was becomingly dressed in dove grey with large picture hat. The bridegroom's gift to the bride was a handsome gold cross, and to the bridesmaid a very pretty sapphire brooch. The bride's gift to the bridegroom was a set of greenstone sleeve-links, mounted in gold, and pearl studs. The presents were numerous, valuable, and useful. The happy couple left for the north on their honeymoon.
