The bridesmaid was Miss L. Loader, and best man Mr H. G. Loader, of Greytown. The bride looked charming in a white embroidered organdie muslin frock with orthodox veil and orange blossom, and was given away by her father. The bridesmaid wore white organdie muslin. 

The reception was held in the Taueru Hall, where the numerous guests were entertained by the bride’s parents.
