Her veil of white tulle was secured at each side by small white flowers, and she carried a Victorian posy of white cyclamen, daffodils, and freesias. Her only jewellery was a cameo pendant, which belonged to her great-grandmother. ■ The bridesmaid was Miss Joy Anderson. whose frock of blue silk velvet was similar in design to; that of the bride. She carried a Victorian posy of cyclamen and wore matching flowers in her hair. Mr Don Miller was the best man. After the ceremony the guests were received by Mr and Mrs McDonald and Mr and Mrs Gilchrist at the Somerset Lounge. Mrs McDonald wore a gown of black French net figured with gold and red and a spray of orchids and freesias. Mrs Gilchrist’s gown of heavy black crepe featured black velvet trimming. Her shoulder spray was of red cyclamen to match those worn in her hair.
