CLAUGHTON-FULLER.

A very popular and pretty wedding was solemnised at St. Matthew's Church, Masterton, yesterday, when Miss May Fuller, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs J. A. Fuller, of Master-ton, was married to Mr Herbert S. Claughton, organist at St. Matthew's Church, and late of Ilford, London. The ceremony was a fully choral one, the bride being a member of the choir, the Rev. H. Watson officiating. Mrs Hunn acted as organist. The bride, who was given away by her father, was dressed in cream taffeta with veil and orange blossoms, and carried a dainty shower bouquet. Her sister, Miss Hazel Fuller, was bridesmaid, her dress being a cream minon de soie frock, and she also carried a pretty bouquet. The best man was Mr R. C. Nixon...
