WEDDING BELLS

DUFFY— TOBIN.

The Catholic Church, Alexandra (writes a correspondent), was the scene of a very pretty wedding on January 13, the contracting parties being Mr. W. H. Duffy, eldest son of Mr. D. Duffy, of Greymouth, and Miss Letitia Tobin, youngest daughter of Mrs. T. Tobin, of Arrowtown. A Nuptial Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Hunt, who also performed the marriage ceremony. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr. P. Tobin, was attired in a blue lustre dress with white lace trimmings, and hat to match. She also wore a handsome gold bangle set with diamonds and rubies, the gift of the bridegroom. She was attended by Miss Bella Gray as bridesmaid. The bridegroom's present to the bridesmaid was a beautiful gold brooch. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. R. C. Heffernan (Greymouth) as best man. After the ceremony the wedding party drove to the residence of Mrs. McClintock, the bride's sister, where the wedding breakfast was partaken of and the usual toasts honored. The happy couple left by train for Dunedin and the Lakes, where the honeymoon will be spent. A large number of useful and valuable presents were received, thus testifying to the esteem in which the young coupje are held.
