v 4 :& LE FEVRE—DRYDEN. ' % % A very pretty and interesting wedding was celebrated at the Catholic Church, Owaka, on June 2, when Mr. John Marston Le Fevre, eldest son of Mr. David Le Fevre, Rolleston, Canterbury, was married to Miss Isabella Margaret, only daughter of Mr. Wm. Dryden, Owaka, The church, which, was tastefully decorated by the bride's girl friends, was crowded with relatives and friends. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Howard. The bride, who was given away by her father, was exquisitely attired in a gown of ivory satin, trimmed with pearls and overskirt of shadow lace. She also wore a beautifully worked veil with wreath, and carried a pretty bouquet of white lilies and maidenhair fern. The bridesmaid (Miss Cissie Anderson, of Balclutha) looked very dainty in a dress of pale heliotrope satin and pretty white satin hat, trimmed with violets, and carried a bouquet of chrysanthemums and asparagus. Little Miss Olive Paterson, Owaka, as" flower-girl, looked very nice in a pretty white silk frock and bonnet, and carried a basket of white roses. The bridegroom was supported by his brother (Mr. Noel Le Fevre) as best man. After the ceremony the guests proceeded to the Coffee Palace, where the wedding breakfast was spread. The Rev. Father Howard proposed the toast of the ' Bride ■ and bridegroom,' and other customary toasts were duly honored. The bridegroom's present to the bride was a pair of diamond earrings, to the bridesmaid a ruby and diamond pendant and chain, and to the flower-girl a gold brooch. The bride's present to the bridegroom was a sold watch chain. Mr. and Mrs. Le Fevre left by the evening train for Balclutha, thence to Southland and Christchurch, where the honeymoon was spent.
