WEDDIN6 BELLS. [Communicated,] A very pretty wedding was solemnised at the Church of the Cross, Upper Moutere, on Wednesday October 17th, when Miss Dorothea Helena Drogemiiller was married to Mr Adolf E. T. Bensemann. The ceremony, was performed by the Rev. J. Sohwarz, the church, which had been very prettily decorated by friends of the bride, being crowded with spectators. The best man was the bridegroom's brother, Mr T. Bensemann. The bridesmaids were the Misses Jane and Agnes Drogemiiller, and the Misses Agnes, Bose, and Alice Bensamann, sisters of the bride and bridegroom respectively. Messrs L. Drogemiiller, A. Max, B. Bensemann, and T Drogemiiller acted as groomsmen. Tbe bride looked charming in a handsome gowri of cream cashmere, trimmed with white satin and chiffon. She carried a beautiful shower bouquet, and wore a handsome gold brooch, the gift of the bridegroom. , After tbe ceremony about 120 guests sat down to a sumptuous breakfast at the residence of the bridegroom's parents (Mr and Mrs F. Bensemann). In the afternoon various games were indulged in, and the evening was devoted to singing and dancing, all thoroughly enjoying themselves until the gathering broke up early in the morning with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" and the National Anthem. The wedding gifts were numerous and useful. The schoolchildren were granted a half -holiday, and .the village was en fete for the occasion. Mr and Mrs Korte (grandparents of the bridegroom) who arrived in Nelson, May 1865 in the ship Magna Bona, and who have resided in the Moutere ever since, celebrated their golden wedding on the same day. and many and hearty were the congratulations bestowed upon them. Upper Moutere, 5th November, 1900.
