Charles Matthews -
Eleanor Graham (Nellie) Horsbrugh - 1907

A quiet wedding was celebrated at S. Matthew's Church, on Saturday afternoon, the contracting parties being Mr Charles Matthews, of "Oporua," Featherston, and Miss Nellie Horsbrugh, eldest daughter of Mr H. Horsbrugh, of Lansdowne. The bride was attired in a smart tailor-made cream serge costume, and a hat trimmed with plumes. She was attended by her sister, Miss Bessie Horsbrugh, who wore a dainty white muslin gown and picture hat. Mr Harold Matthews, brother of the bridegroom, was best man, and the ceremony was performed by the Rev A. M. Johnson. The bridegroom's present to the bride was a handsome gold watch and chain, and to the bridesmaid a gold curb bangle. After the ceremony, afternoon tea was partaken of at the residence of the bride's parents, and later in the afternoon Mr and Mrs C. Matthews left for Featherston in a motor car.
