WEDDING BELLS

——♦—-—■— " f BRAZIL—HAMPSON. A pretty wedding (writes a correspondent) was celebrated at the Sacred Heart Church, Reefton, on April 29, when Miss Mary A. Hampson, fourth daughter of Mrs. T. Hampson, Grey road, was married to Mr. Garret Brazil, second son of Mr. J. Brazil, Cronadon. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Galerne. The bride, who was given away by her brother (Mr. J. Hampson), wore a costume of white chiffon taffeta, trimmed with silk ruchings and embroidery, and the usual veil and wreath, and carried a bouquet of white daisies and maiden hair fern. The bride was attended by her sister (Miss Nora Hampson) and Miss Brazil, who wore cream dresses and black picture hats. Miss C. O’Donnell acted as flower girl. Mr. Patrick Coll was best man and Mr. Hugh Hampson was groomsman. The bridegroom’s present to the bride was a beautiful gold cross and chain, and to each of the bridesmaids he gave a gold brooch. The bride’s present to the bridegroom was a gentleman’s dressing case. At the conclusion of the ceremony a large number of guests were entertained at the residence of the bride’s mother, where the wedding breakfast was laid. The presents were numerous and costly, and included several substantial cheques. The honeymoon was spent in Canterbury.
