Five enormous touring cars
decked with white streamers carried
the bridal party and most intimate
friends to the Baptist church, where
Mr. Gray pronounced them husband
and wife.
Mr. Crozier, whose brothers are well
known throughout the islands, gave
the bride away. She looked very girl
ish in a simple white silk gown, and
a picture hat trimmed with white os-
trich feathers, and gracefully dropping
down to her waist hung a white bell
veil, which seemed most appropriate
for the occasion.
The bride carried bouquet of white
lilies and roses, and maidenhair fern,
and the maid-of-honor, Miss Lily Pal
mer, carried a bouquet of pink asters
and maidenhair fern.
Mr.. Andrew Hughes of Dexter a
Crozier acted as best man.
On leaving the church, the friends
of the couple, and the people who had
gathered to witness the sight, lined up
outside the church and showered them
with rice.
The wedding caused quite a sensa-
ton in Christchurch, especially when
the chauffeurs footed their respective
horns through the main street.
A breakfast was prepared at the Ho-
tel Claredon for the party The table
was decorated with miniature auto
mobiles and greens.
The happy young couple whirled
away in a motor car for a two weeks
trip.
