Manawatu Evening Standard June 25 1925: elcox-farmer wedding
A wedding which caused considerable local interest was celebrated on May 20th at Glen Oroua Presbyterian Church by Rev. W.S. Tramin of Rongotea. The contracting parties being Annie Mable daughter of Mr & Mrs W. Farmer of Glen Oroua and Thomas Richard only son of Mr & Mrs T. Elcox, Areley Kings, Worcestershire, England.
The Church had been tastefully decorated by friends of the bride and the music was played by Miss Sanson. The bride who was given away by her father was attired in a fawn satin marocain frock with shoes and stockings to match, and a smart black hat. She carried a sheaf of chrysanthemums and maiden hair fern. The bridesmaid, Miss Ida Farmer, wore a grey marocain frock and hat and carried a bouquet of autumn shades. Both the bouquets were the gifts of Mrs H.J. Lancaster of Glen Oroua. The bridegroom was supported by Mr. H. Morgan of Foxton as best man. A reception was afterwards held in the local hall when the usual toasts were honoured, about 100 guests being present. Numerous telegrams were received from absent friends. The three-tiered wedding cake which was much admired, was made and presented by Mrs F. Farmer, sister-in-law of the bride. Later the happy couple left for a brief motor tour. Mr & Mrs Elcox were the recipients of many beautiful and valuable presents (including several cheques). One gift being a handsome tea set and travelling rug to the bride from the members of Glen Oroua Anglican Church in recognition of her services as organist for a number of years.
