Marriages.
Morris = Pritchett.
Yesterday afternoon at St James Church, Lower Riccarton, the wedding was celebrated of Susie Ellen Torlesse, fourth daughter of the Rev and Mrs P H Pritchett, Lower Riccarton, to William Alfred Aubrey, only son of the late Mr W S Morris (Dunedin), and of Mrs Morris, Auckland. The Rev R de Lambert, who performed the ceremony was assisted by the brides father, and Mrs Eric McEachen played the wedding music.
A trained frock of white lace, made on close-fitting lines, was worn by the bride, who was escorted by her brother, Mr D Pritchett. A necklet of white organdie flowers with yellow centres, placed above the square neckline of the frock gave an uncommon effect to the bodice, which had long tight sleeves. Her filmy veil of white embroidered tulle formed a long train, the headdress being composed of orange blossom, the embroidery of the veil showing beneath in a tiny edging. Her bouquet of white flowers was relieved with touches of yellow.
The attendants were Miss Betty Pritchett (chief bridesmaid), a sister of the bride, and Miss Wylla Jones, and Miss Bonnie Pritchett, a younger sister, who acted as flower girl. Buttercup yellow frocks of silk crinkle crêpe worn by the bridesmaids had high cowl necklines in front, and were fastened with tiny buttons at the back, the long sleeves being slashed and puffed above the elbows. Narrow belts were worn at the waists, and the skirts were flared from the knee line. Their caps of gold net were banded with gold sequins and finished with three organdie flowers at the back, and their bouquet's were of flowers shading from buttercup to orange.
The little flower girl wore a long white satin frock having short puffed sleeves and a buttercup yellow sash. The yellow flowers in her posy toned with her floral bandeau.
Mr George Morris (Dunedin) was best man, and Mr Vernon's Smyth was groomsman.
Mr and Mrs Pritchett entertained their guests at their home, where a marquee had been erected on the lawn. Mrs Pritchett's frock of black lace was relieved with a shoulder spray of red begonias, and her black hat was trimmed with white. The bridegroom's mother wore a fawn suit, and a smart black straw hat, and carried a bouquet of pink roses and maidenhair fern.
When Mr and Mrs W A A Morris left for their wedding tour, the bride was wearing a blue silk marocain frock trimmed with white, a dark grey fur coat, and a dove grey hat to match.
