William Daniell Darvill -
Ethel Elizabeth Ward, 1910

DARVILL—WARD. 

A wedding was celebrated at S. Matthew's Church yesterday by the Rev. H. Watson, when Mr William Darvill, eldest son of the late Mr Wm. Darvill, was united in matrimony to Miss Ethel (Hettie) Ward, only daughter of Mr G. Ward, of Masterton. 

The bride, who was given away by her father, was charmingly attired in a frock of rich ivory silk trimmed with silk corded lace and tucked chiffon. She wore the usual veil and orange blossoms and carried a beautiful shower bouquet of lillies, roses and maiden hair ferns. 

Miss Florence Darvill, sister of the bridegroom, attended as bridesmaid, and she was becomingly attired in a frock of cream striped silk voile, trimmed with tucked net and silk lace, with hat of heliotrope and gold. She wore a matrix torquoise necklet, the gift, of the bridegroom, and carried a lovely shower bouquet of pink roses and maiden hair ferns, with heliotrope streamers. 

Mr Robert Ward, cousin of the bride, was best man. 

Subsequently a reception was held at the residence of the bride's parents. Mr and Mrs Darvill were the recipients of a large number of useful and costly presents. 

The happy couple left by the afternoon train for the South on a honeymoon tour. 

Last evening a social evening was held at the residence of the bride's parents in honour of the occasion, and an exceedingly pleasant evening was spent.
