WEDDING BELLS BLYTHE- HUNTER. On Tuesday morning, November 26th, a large circle of friends assisted at a very pretty and interesting function at Burnside, the residence of Mrs Moore Hunter. The event was the marriage of her daughter Jeanie to Mr David Blythe, of Wanganui. Tbe bridal party was grouped for the ceremony in the porch, which was decorated for the occasion, and formed a novel and effective picture, the ministers and guests occupying the lawn. The bride looked sweet and dignified in a rich dress of white brocaded satin, the only trimming being a deep fall of Honiton lace and a spray of orange blossom on the bodice. The veil was delicately embroidered. The bride carried a lovely shower bouquet, and was attended by her three sisters. Miss Millie Hunter, as chief bridesmaid, wore a dress of white silk with daffodil yellow chiffon sash, also a gold bangle, the gift of the bridegroom and carried a bouquet of yellow and whlte flowers. Misses Belle and Mary wore cream silk dresses and dainty gold necklets and lockets, the bridegroom's gifts, and carrie d baskets of crimson roses. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr A . Hunter and the bridegroom was attended by his brother, Mr J. Blythe, as best man. The ceremony was performed by Rev T. McDonald of Waipukurau , assisted by Rev I. E. Bertram. After a sumptuous breakfast, Rev T. Mc Donald, in a short speech, voiced the feeling of the assembled company in wishing Mr and Mrs Blythe happiness and prosperity. Mr Blythe shortly returned thanks on behalf of himself and his wife. The wedding-cake was handsome and imposing, having three tiers most elaborately decorated. Th e bride's travelling dress was a coat and skirt of fine blue cloth, lined with white satin. She wore a white chiffon boa, and Black hat with two cloth-of-gold roses under the brim, in which she looked charming. Mr and Mrs Blythe left by train for Nelson. The presents were numerous and costly, and came from far and near.
