A GOLDEN WEDDING
A function of great interest to residents of the Hutt Valley took place in the Taita Hall on Thursday afternoon (writes “The Post”s” Lower Hutt correspondent). This was the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. F. Westbury, who have resided at Cottles Lane, Taita, for many years.
The hall was festooned with streamers, and flowers had been artistically arranged. Down the centre of the room long tables had been set for the party, golden jonquils and maiden-hair fern filled the vases, while at the top the wedding cake held an honoured place. The cake was double tiered, with tiny gold cachets and horseshoes.
When the guests of honour, arrived their guests gave them an enthusiastic welcome, and they then took their place at the head of the table. Mrs. Westbury looked a picture of happiness, wearing a gown of black marocain, with oyster satin trimmings, a hat to tone, and with a bouquet of golden abutilon and violets presented to her on her arrival. Speeches were made by Mr. F. S. Hewer (son-in-law), and Mr. Westbury, and the guests all joined in singing “They Are Jolly Good Fellows.”
