    • WEDDING

      A very quiet but pretty wedding was solemnised at "Kenelm Rise," the residence of Mr T. Preston, Te Arai, by the. Rev. W. Grant, the contracting parties being Miss Thurza Willson, fifth daughter of Mr A. J. Willson, of Te Arai, to James, eldest son of Mr J. Campbell, of Makauri. The bride was prettily attired in an Empire gown of cream figured lustre trimmed with silk guipure lace and insertion, and wore the orthodox veil and orange blossoms, and also carried a lovely bouquet. She was attended by her sister Ruth as bridesmaid who wore a dress of blue ninon de soie trimmed with insertion and lace. They both wore pearl and amethyst brooches, the gift of the bridegroom. The bridegroom was attended by his brother, Mr George Campbell, as best man. After the ceremony the party were entertained at a sumptuous breakfast, about thirty of the most intimate friends and relations being present, after which the happy couple proceeded to their future home at Ngatapa, amid showers of rice and congratulations.
