Kearney, Ranfurly. The Rev. Father Lynch performed the ceremony and also celebrated a Nuptial Mass. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a lovely gown of white crepe-de-chine, trimmed with rich embroidery satin bands, and silver fringe-. She wore the usual wreath and veil' and carried a white ivory-backed prayerbook. Miss Callery. (Dunedin) acted as bridesmaid. bridegroom was attended by his brother (Mr. James Kearney) as best man. The bride's present to the bridegroom was a hand-somely-mounted umbrella, whilst the bridegroom's present to the bride was a gold watch and chain, and to the bridesmaid a gold brooch and cross. After the ceremony the guests repaired to the residence of the bride's parents, ' Filly-burn,' where the wedding breakfast was held. The Rev. Father Lynch presided, and in a happy little speech proposed the toast of the newly-married couple, and referred to their numerous good qualities. Other customary toasts were duly honored.
