WEDDING BELLS

MILLS—BROWN. On April 25 a quiet wedding took place in the Cathedral, Barbadoes street, Christchurch. The bride was Miss Amelia Brown, a daughter of the late Mr. Charles Brown, of Poulson street, Addington, and the bridegroom was Mr. Arthur Patrick Mills, of the Cathedral parish. The bridesmaids were Miss Mabel Richardson and Miss Nellie Smith. Mr. Gordon Mills, a brother of the bridegroom, was the best man. The bride, who was given away by her relative, Mr. William Pickering, wore, besides the usual veil and wreath, a very pretty ivory silk dress elaborately trimmed to match. The Rev. Father McDonald, S.M., performed the ceremony and celebrated the Nuptial Mass. After the ceremony the wedding party repaired to the Washington Lodge Hall, Sehvyn street, Addington, where the breakfast, presided over by Mr. Pickering, took place. The wedding presents were numerous, valuable, and useful. The bridegroom presented a handsome gold brooch to each of the bridesmaids, and to the bride a gold bangle.
