A Morning Wedding at Folding

ROBINSON—BURNHAM. At tho Baptist Church on Wednesday morning, October 4 a very pretty wedding took place, when Jean Harriot, eldest daughter of Mrs. C. J. Bennett, Ongaruo, and the lato Mr. H. Burnham, was married to Noel, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. R. Robinson, Aorangi. The church had been artistically decorated by frionds, a whito boll being suspended above tlio bridal couple and white bows dolining tho pews reserved for tho guests. Tho officiating clergyman was the Reverend S. J. Gilbert and Mrs. 11. Bowaler, aunt of the bride, played tho wedding music. A graceful robe of rich ivory crepe satin was worn by the bride, who was given away by her father, and her delicately embroidered veil was caught to her head with orange blossom. Whito azaelias, stock and maidenhair fern composed her bouquet that had long streamers of asparagus fern and tulle. Tho bride was attended by her sister, Miss Winifred Bennett, who was daintily frocked in pink georgette and lace. Her beautiful floral coronot was in a shade to tone as also were her necklet and earrings, the gifts of the bridegroom, and she carried a bouquet of pale pink heath, frccsias, ranunculi and maidenhair fern. The tiny flower girls, Molly Burnham, of Cameron’s lino, cousin of the bride, and Dora Whitehead, were very picturesquely arrayed in Early Victorian frocks of pale blue organdie with which they wore bandeaux of blue ribbon and rosebuds and pretty little flower brooches presented to them by the bridegroom. Their posies were of pale pink heath and double white May centred by for-get-me-nots. The best man was Mr. W. Cox. Some 80 guests later attended the wedding breakfast that was held at the Parish hall. Mrs. Bennett wore a frock of brown floral silk, her hat and bouquet being in shades to match. Mrs. Robinson, mother of tho bridegroom, was in a navy tailored costume, a hat of fawn velour and carried a posy of rhododendrons. The handsome wedding cake that was given pride of place on the bridal table, was made and presented by Mrs. Lower, of Te Araknra, and. the lovely bouquets were the artistic work of Mrs. Lean. The bride and bridegroom later left by the New Plymouth .express for their honeymoon, tho bride travelling in a frock of dark green crinkly crepe with hat to tone.
