The bride looked charming in a dress of cream crepe de chine, with an overdress of satin and a train of merv silk with pink underlining. She also wore the orthodox veil and orange blossom, and carried a beautiful shower bouquet. As the bride entered the church the Wedding March was played by Miss I. T. Smaill, A.T.C.L.. The bridesmaids, Miss Lily Ramsay and Miss M. Rarity, were attired in silk, with pearl and fringe trimmings. Messrs Ralph Barclay and W. Middlemass acted as best men. After the ceremony a large number of guests repaired to the Masonic Hall to partake of the wedding breakfast, and the toasts usual to the occasion were honoured.
