WEDDING

O'CARROLL-BERTRAM. Delicately tinted pink roses, her favourite flowers, clustered in the beautiful armlet of stephanotis and silver tissue ribbons, were carried by Miss Jean Bertram at her wedding on the evening of January 14 at the Presbyterian Church, Woollahra, Sydney. The bride is the youngest daughter of Dr. and Mrs. T. D. Bertram, Epping, and the bridegroom, Patrick O’Carroll, is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. O’Carroll, Inglewood, and an old boy of the New Plymouth High School. The Rev. D. P. McDonald was the minister.

The bride entered the church with her uncle, Mr. Peter Fletcher. She wore long tight sleeves, a silhouette corsage and cowl neckline. A series of frills forming a bustle at the back added a quaint oldworld effect. A coronet of orange blossoms held the veil of honiton lace, which fell to form a train.

Miss Margaret Pratt, who attended her old school friend as bridesmaid, was dressed in a frock of pink'floral taffetas made on old-world lines. She added a rose-pink straw hat to tone and her sheaf of pink gladioli, mingled with blue delphiniums, enhanced the delicacy of her colour choice.

Mr. Cyril Thompson, son of Mr. Frank Thompson, late of Inglewood, a friend of the bridegroom in New Zealand, was best man.

A reception was held at “Newstead,” Darling Point, the home of the bridesmaid’s mother. The bride’s mother, who received the guests, was frocked in black georgette. Her posy of gold roses and autumn-tinted blossoms added a bright touch of colour.

The honeymoon will be spent in Tasmania, the bride’s choice for travelling being an ensemble of lake blue shantung with hat to tone.
