      RAMSAY - BARCLAY.

      A wedding of unusual interest took place in the Kaitangata Presbyterian Church on Wednesday, when Sergeant Wm. Ramsay (Main Body), eldest son of Mr T. Ramsay, and Miss Susan Barclay, eldest daughter of Mr Wm. Barclay were joined in holy matrimony. The church was beautifully decorated by lady friends of the bride. Rev. R. McDowall officiaifced.

      The bride looked charming in a dress of cream crepe de chine, with an overdress of satin and a train of merv silk with pink underlining. She also wore the orthodox veil and orange blossom, and carried a beautiful shower bouquet. As the bride entered the church the Wedding March was played by Miss I. T. Smaill, A.T.C.L.. The bridesmaids, Miss Lily Ramsay and Miss M. Rarity, were attired in silk, with pearl and fringe trimmings. Messrs Ralph Barclay and W. Middlemass acted as best men.

      After the ceremony a large number of guests repaired to the Masonic Hall to partake of the wedding breakfast, and the toasts usual to the occasion were honoured.

      The happy couple received many costly and useful presents. The bridegroom's presents were: To the bride, a marble clock; to the bridesmaids, silver button-hook and shoe-horn and silver teaspoons. The bride's present to the bridegroom was a gold chain and pendant; to the best men a pocket shaving outfit and a fountain pen.

      The happy pair, left in the afternoon by motor for the North to spend the honeymoon. The bride's travelling dress was of brown velvet, with hat to match.
