The bridesmaids were Miss Eileen Streeter, sister of the bride, and Miss Phyllis Brooks, of Brookside. Their frocks of pink tulle over taffeta had Peter Pan collars and puffed sleeves. The skirts were banded with vari-coloured narrow satin ribbon. On their heads they wore wreaths of pink flowers from which fell shoulder length tulle veils. Miss W.
