ST.VALENTINE
This morning the worthy saint was unable to send propitious weather, but two weddings were celebrated notwithstanding, by the Very Rev Dean WILLIAMS, at St.George’s Cathedral. The one was that of Dr. Edwin ATHERSTONE, who was united in the holy bonds to Miss GIRDLESTONE, the eldest daughter of the esteemed Councillor. The other was that of Mr. Nelson Styleman GIRDLESTONE, eldest son of the same gentleman, to Miss THORNHILL. The dresses of the brides and bridesmaids were very chaste and beautiful, and there being a large party, the tout ensemble at the altar was remarkably pretty. Seldom have we seen a larger number of lookers-on than were attracted on the occasion of such a popular event. After breakfast the one happy couple left for the Kowie and the other for the Kareiga. We shall be allowed to wish them every imaginable joy in their new estate.
