A very pretty wedding took place on Tuesday afternoon at Holy Trinity Cathedral, when Miss Alison Moore was married to Mr. George Edward Shard. The bride, who arrived from England a few days ago, is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. Moore of White Lodge, Sandiway, whilst the bridegroom, who came to Shanghai about two years ago to join Messrs. Brunner, Mond & Ca., whose manager he is at Chefoo, is the only son of Dr. and Mrs. P. Shard, of the Gables, Hartford, Cheshire.
The bride was given away by Mr. Perey Fowler and looked charming in a very pretty dress of cream charmeuse with a covering of delicate Jace and hat to match. She carried a lovely shower bouquet of white roses and carnations and was attended by two_ very pretty little bridesmaids, Misses Marjorie and Eileen Fowler, who wore lace frocks over blue georgette and carried baskets of roses. Mr. Railton carried out the duties of best_ man.
After the ceremony, a reception was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Perey Fowler in Yuyuen Road, at which the health of the newly married couple was proposed by Mr. Fowler. Mr. Railton subsequently proposed the health of the bridesmaids. Mr. and Mrs. Shard left later for their honeymoon, which is to be spent in Peking.
