WEDDING BELLS

McEVEDY— CAMPBELL.

A great deal of interest (says the Grey River Argus ) was manifested in the wedding which took place on Wednesday, August 16, in St. Patrick’s Church, Greymouth, when Katherine Helena, eldest daughter of our old and highly-respected citizen, Mr. Felix Campbell, and one of Greymouth’s most prominent public men, was united in the bonds of Matrimony to Dr. Patrick F. McEvedy, third son of Mr. P. McEvedy, Southbridge, Canterbury. The pretty bride was very popular in the town, and her pleasing manner and cheery disposition had won for her numerous friends. The bride was beautifully attired in a trimmed gown of souple satin, the overskirt being inserted with panels of real lace and handsome pearl trimming. She also wore a beautiful Limerick lace veil (the gift of the Good Shepherd Convent, Christchurch). The bride was given away by her father. The altar, in honor of the occasion, was beautifully decorated with flowers, being the loving work of the bride’s girl friends. The bridesmaids were Miss Till Campbell (sister of the bride), Miss Antionette McEvedy (sister of the bridegroom), and Miss Nellie Griffin (cousin of the bride). The bridegroom was attended by his brother (Mr. Bernard McEvedy) as best man. The groomsmen were Mr. Thomas Campbell (brother of the bride), and Mr. Valentine McEvedy. The Nuptial Mass was celebrated by the Very Rev. Dean Carew, who also officiated at the marriage ceremony, and at its conclusion the ‘ Wedding March ’ was played by Miss Rita Hannan. The bridal party and guests drove to the residence of the bride’s father, where the wedding breakfast was partaken of and complimentary toasts proposed and responded to. The bride, who was one of Greymouth’s most popular young ladies, received numerous wedding presents, all being pretty, costly, and useful. The happy couple left by special train for Otira en route to Christchurch, taking with them the best wishes for their future happiness from their numerous friends. The bride’s travelling dress was a blue coat and skirt with heavy black braidings. She wore a saxe blue hat with slashings of ribbons, finished with spring roses. She also wore a beautiful set of black seal furs. Their future home will be in Welling-
