The choir of which the bride had been a member for many years, preceded the - bridal party, singing an appropriate hymn. j The bride entered the church on the arm of her uncle, Mr. G. E. Leggett, : who gave her away. She looked very y charming in a frock of ivory satin, relieved only with touches of silver and her beautiful shower bouquet was of . sweet peas, daisies and asparagus. A simple wreath of orange blossoms formed her head-dress, from which her beautiful veil fell as a graceful train. Miss Joy Kelly, sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid, her charming frock of daffodil hatienne, with caps and hem-line favouring the graceful uneven vogue, lending a delightful touch of spring colouring. She carried a sheaf of daffodils and violets. Mr. Innes Kelly attended the bridegroom as best man.
