A very pretty wedding took place at St. Andrew's Church, Whareama, yesterday, when Miss Gladys M. C. Bannister was married to Mr H. H. Harrison, of Martinborough.
The bride who was given away by her father, was daintily attired in a cream fugi [sic] silk costume, with a black velvet hat, relieved with cream, and carried a lovely shower bouquet of white flowers.
The bride was attended by her sister as bridesmaid. The latter wore a dainty pale blue frock and black velvet hat, relieved with pink and blue, and carried a bouquet of pink and white flowers.
The bridegroom was supported by Mr W. J. Mitchell as best man.
Both the bridegroom and the best man are returned soldiers.
The gift of the bridegroom to the bride was a gold wristlet watch and to the bridesmaid a gold bangle.
The happy couple left by the afternoon train for Wellington, en route for Auckland and Rotorua, where the honeymoon will be spent. The bride's travelling dress was a navy blue costume and hat to match.
Note: Henry Hodges Harrison was killed in a lorry accident at Otaraia, Martinborough on 25 March 1926.

LORRY GOES OVER BANK | DRIVER KILLED | MARTINBOROUGH FATALITY.
A distressing motor accident occurred on the Otaraia cutting, near Martinborough, yesterday afternoon, resulting in the death of Henry Hodges Harrison, a lorry driver, in the employee of Chapman and Sons, carriers, of Martinborough.
The deceased was travelling to Martinborough and had a freight of about four tons of cement. When half-way up the cutting, it is stated he endeavoured to change to a lower gear, but failed in the operation, and the lorry ran backwards and over the edge of the road, toppling down a 40 feet bank.
A youth named Nicholson, who was travelling on the lorry, jumped clear, but Harrison was pinned under. When his body was extricated from the wreckage by Dr. Webb, he was dead.
Mr Harrison, who was 38 years of age, was well known in the Wairarapa and was married to a daughter of the late Mr Thomas Bannister, of Masterton. He had no family.
The funeral will take place at Martinborough tomorrow.
