1 of 5 daughters and 3 sons of Bishop Churchill JULIUS of Christchurch
She married Arthur Lloyd Hansell in 1906
Otago Witness, 21 Feb 1906
A very fashionable wedding took place at Christchurch Cathedral on Wednesday, February 14, when Miss Mary Julius, eldest daughter of Bishop and Mrs Julius, was married to the Rev Arthur Lloyd Hansell, of Wellington. The altar had been handsomely arranged with white flowers, and the Cathedral was filled with guests, who were entertained afterwards at Bishopscourt. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked very pretty in a bridal gown of pearl-white satin, made with a transparent chiffon yoke and a square Court train. Her veil of lovely Brussels lace was fastened with a coronet of orange blossom, and she carried a lovely shower bouquet. Two bridesmaids, the Misses Ada and Bertha Julius attended her, both gowned in very pretty tucked white taffetas, with belts of soft pink satin and hats of mauve with touches of pink and they carried bouquets of pale pink blossoms. The ceremony was performed by Bishop Wallis, of Wellington, assisted by Dean Harper and the service was full choral.
Unfortunately the weather, which had shown signs of clearing, was showery and prevented the reception at Bishopscourt from taking the form of a garden party, as had been intended. Afternoon tea was served in a large tent in a corner of the lawn, where the handsome wedding cake occupied the place of honour. The wedding presents where on view in the breakfast room and were numerous and particularly beautiful.
The bride's going-away dress was of dark green cloth with vest of cream lace and with this she wore a green toque and handsome furs. Mrs Julius wore a handsome gown of black eolienne, with cream lace and a bonnet of black with cream osprey; Mrs Arthur Elworthy was becomingly dressed in pale grey voile with lace yoke and relieved with narrow black velvet, marabout stole, and hat of violet and white; Mrs Elworthy wore a rich toilette of black silk with deep basques lined with white satin, black and white bonnet; Mrs Arthur Rhodes, a particularly lovely blue gown, and picture hat; Mrs Boyle was in brown voile, with brown toque; Mrs Palmer and Mrs Reeves wore black silk, also Mrs Tabart; Mrs Stead had a handsome gown of blue-grey taffetas white feather boa and pale blue toque; Miss Stead was in white cloth, and pale blue hat; Mrs Lee wore black crepo de chine much gathered and tucked, and pale blue hat, Mrs T.
