The Rugby Street Methodist Church, St Albans, was the scene of a wedding recently, when Elsie Maude, youngest daughter of Mrs Jensen and the late Mr A. Jensen, Slater Street, Richmond, was married to Clive Roimata, eldest son of Mr and Mrs C. Gibbard, Somme Street, St Albans. The officiating minister was the Rev W. M. Rowe and Miss Bell was organist. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr 11. Jensen, wore a charming sleeveless gown of ivory French crepe de chine, made with a long fitting bodice, the waistline being defined by a belt finished with a diamante buckle. The skirt was inset with lace and with the frock was worn a dainty lace coatee. Her embroidered veil, which formed a train, was worn well off the face and held in place by a circlet of orange blossom with small bunches at each side. She carried a white shower bouquet with touches of palest pink. On leaving the church she was presented with a silver horse-shoe by her little niece, Olive Duffield.

The two bridesmaids in attendance were Miss Emily Jensen (sister of the bride, and Miss Edith Gibbard, wearing ankle-length frocks of French crepe de chine in cameo pink and jade green shades respectively, made with long fitting bodices and fully flared skirts and dainty lace coatees. Their summer felt hats to match were turned up off the face and they carried bouquets of pink and apricot gladioli and hot-house flowers. Mr Ilyla Gibbard was best man and Mr Toby Blair (Whitecliffs) was groomsman. Later a reception was held at the Veterans’ Hall, Oxford Terrace. Mrs Jensen received her guests wearing a frock of nigger brown marocain and a smart navy blue silk coat and a black hat with a motif of multi-coloured flow T ers.
