It was in a church crammed to capacity, while 10,000 Melbourne-ites squeezed and jostled outside, that Kingsford Smith began his matrimonial flight with pretty Mary Powell on Wednesday evening, December 10. Four maids—Misses Molly Mcßride (of South Australia), Kathleen Gepp, Beris Kingsford Smith (San Francisco), and Margery Calthrop—their brows banded with deep blue forget-me-nots, and frocked in softly falling lace of the same sweet tone, preceded the bride. Her billowy pink tulle veil was matched by her bouquet of waterlilies, while her gown of ivory georgette meshed with silver thread was mounted over pink. Following her came two small nieces, quaint and demure in long blue tulle frocks and forget-me-not hair-bands. Waiting at the altar was a uniformed group of aviation officers —the bridegroom, his breast starred with medals, and his attend-ants—Flight-Lieutenant Charles Ulm (best man), Flying-Officer Max Allan, Flight-Lieutenant J. Waters, and Squadron-Leader Hepburn. It is a fierce and ever-present blaze of publicity that surrounds the doings of popular heroes. Press cameras clicked in the vestry, police cordons gave way before the surging crowds as the party left the church, while guests arriving for the dinner given by the bride's parents after the ceremony, in some cases had to be actually carried by police through the throng to the reception rooms.
