The marriage of Mr and Mrs Chee

The marriage of Mr and Mrs Chee on Thursday last, by Mr Lord, Registrar, has afforded a subject for conversation at teatables, it being, we understand, the first real Chinese wedding that has occurred in Auckland. Ah Ghee and the lady of his love having been solemnly joined together in holy matrimony, tbe thoughtful couple conceived the happy idea of the celestial bride-cake, a piece of which we have duly received with compliments, nicely tied, and surmounted by a white rose, emblematic of purity and conjugal affection. We wish the happy pair long life and domestic peace. Auckland Star, Volume XVII, Issue 25, 30 January 1886, Page 5
