  Notes	WEDDING. RUSHBROOKE - McLAREN A pretty wedding that created a great amount of interest at Manawaru was celebrated in Christ's Church (Anglican) at Manawaru on Wednesday, the Rev. H M. Smyth being the officiating minister. The contracting parties were Miss Elinor McLaren eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs T. McLaren, of Manawaru, and Mr Alban George Rusbbrooke, eldest son of Mr and Mrs E. E. Rushbrooke of Te Mawhai, Te Awamutu. There was a large attendance of relatives and friends of the young couple at the church which presented quite a pretty scene when the bride arrived accompanied by her father and bridesmaids. The party entered and left the Church to the strains of Mendelsohn's wedding march played by Mrs Robert Duxfield. When leaving the Church, the children from the school paraded outside and showered an immense amount of confetti on the young couple. The bride was attired in cream crystaline silk with allover silk lace and wore a veil, court train and orange blossoms. She also carried a shower bouquet of asparagus, maiden-hair fern, heath and narcissi. The bridesmaids, Misses Bessie and Ethel McLaren, sisters of the bride, both wore dresses of cream radianta trimmed with cream lace, insertion and buttons and cream mob caps trimmed with white lace. Both carried shepherd's crooks with white flowers and streamers. The bride was given away by her father. The bridegroom's presents to the bridesmaids were handsome greenstone broaches mantled with heavy gold. Mr Ernest Rushbrooke, brother of the bridegroom attended his brother as best man. The presents on view at the bride's home were of a beautiful and useful nature, and included several cheques and a silver kettle and spirit lamp from the adherents of the Manawaru Anglican Church. About forty-five guests assembled at the home of the bride's parents to partake in the wedding feast, and the tables presented a pretty array. These were profusely decorated with jonquils and narcissi, and carried a really sumptuous repast, including an elaborate three decker cake, manufactured by Messrs Wigg & Co. The toast of the Bride and Bridegroom was proposed by Rev. Smyth, and that of the parents of the Bride and Bridegroom by Mr R. L. Somers. The young couple left by motor car for Hamilton, from whence they will proceed to tour the Auckland Province. They will afterwards take up their residence at Te Mawhai.
