CROSS-WILSON.
A wedding of interest was celebrated at St. Saviour's Church, Sydenham, Christchurch, on Tuesday afternoon, when Lilian Audry Wilson, fourth daughter of the Bishop of Bunbury, Western Australia, and Mrs, Wilson, and granddaughter, of Archdeacon Julius, was married to the Rev. Christopher Francis Cross, third son of Mr. F. J. K. Cross and the Hon. Mrs. Cross, of Aston Tirrold Manor, Berkshire, England. Archbishop Julius performed the ceremony, and he was assisted by Dean Julius, the bride's uncle. Mr. Hoskin was the organist. The bride, who was escorted by her uncle, Mr. Percy Elworthy, wore a beautiful plainly cut frock of deep cream satin, with a loose front panel of old Honiton lace. Her beautiful bridal veil of old Honiton lace was held in place by a coronet of orange blossom. She carried a bouquet of dark red tulips. The bridesmaids were two cousins of the bride, Miss Anne Elworthy (Timaru) and Miss Gwen, Hansell (Lower Hutt). They wore frocks of ivory ninon, patterned with large cornflower blue flowers and blue, shiny straw hats, and carried bouquets of blue violas. The best man was Mr. Roger Taylor, and Mr. Anthony Elworthy was groomsman. After the ceremony a reception was held at the Deanery. Mr. and Mrs. Cross will make their home at the Vicarage, Waihao Downs, where Mr. Cross is at present stationed.
