Her hat and shoes of old gold made a pretty contrast, and she carried a beautiful sheaf of cream roses and carnations. Her sister, Miss Veida Tosh, acted as bridesmaid, and was. charmingly frocked in pale lemon, with large picture hat, and carried a bouquet of contrasting shades. The mother of the bride chose a red-and-black georgette frock, with smart black hat, and carried a posy of red roses. The bridegroom was attended by Mr William Moffat as best man. After the ceremony a small reception was held by the bride’s mother at her residence, St. Helier’s Court, Caversham.
