MOORE—WHITTON. 

A quiet wedding was celebrated on Wednesday evening [11 February 1925] at St. David’s Church, Christchurch, when Miss Elizabeth Mary Whitton, third daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. Whitton (Christchurch), was married to Mr. George Moore, elder son of Mr. and Mrs. George Moore, of Eparaima. 

The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Webster. 

The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a very attractive French model frock of soft shell-pink georgette over satin of the same shade. Made on becomingly simple lines, the georgette over dress was weighted near the hem with a wide band of ostrich feathers, shading from shell-pin to deeper rose tints, and the low waistline was defined in front with an effective conventional design in diamante trimming. 

A beautiful veil of Brussels lace, which had belonged to the bride’s great-grandmother was worn over the face, falling from a narrow band of ivory satin, a small spray of orange blossom being placed at one side of the head. A note of contrasting colour was introduced in her Victorian posy of pink and purple flowers. 

She was attended by a flower-girl, little Barbara Sandilands, her niece, whose frock was of pale blue crepe de chine. On her head she wore a fillet of small flowers and she carried a posy to tone. 

Mr. John Moore, brother of the bridegroom acted as best man. 

Only relatives were present at the small reeception held at the residence of the bride’s parents. 

When Mr. and Mrs. G. Moore left later by car on their wedding trip, the bride travelled in a model frock of navy crepe de chine over navy satin, patterned in Oriental colourings, the wide sleeves and the satin underskirt being edged with narrow bands of skunk fur. With this was worn a smart little hat of black hatter’s plush with a high crown.
