Her veil of embroidered tuile 'was worn off the face and caught across the head and at the sides with orange blossom buds. She carried an j armlet of choice white flowers. Powder blue georgette attractively patterned in autumn tones was the choice of the bride’s sister, Mrs 11. T. Watters, the matron of honour, and Miss Maureen; Campbell, the attendant maid. Their; frocks were made alike with long pointed sleeves inset in the fitting bodices and softly flared skirts falling from a shaped hip-line to the ankles. Hats of powder blue felt, with wide drooping brims of silk crinoline straw, and tulle posies of primroses and tulips completed their toilets.

The bridegroom was attended by Mr S. C. Manson, brother of the bride, as best man, and Mr H. T. Watters as groomsman.

The guests subsequently gathered at Dixieland, being received by Mrs J May, who wore a distinctive froak of navy crepe de chine relieved with lemon, a navy felt hat and a fox fur. Her bouquet was composed of pansies, spring flowers and fern. She was assisted by Mrs L. Osborne, who wore a frock of almond green celanese, a small navy hat and a light black coat.
