The bride, who was given away by her father, looked charming in a creme embossed marocain dress handsomely trimmed with pearls, and wore the usual wreath and veil. She also carried a beautiful bouquet of seasonable flowers. Miss Bernice Berry (sister of the bride) was bridesmaid, and was attired in a pretty dress of pink Oriental satin, while Mr James Berry carried out the duties of best man. After the ceremony the guests, numbering about eighty, repaired to the Memorial Hall, where a dainty wedding breakfast was partaken of. After the customary toasts had been honoured Mr and Mrs Bromell left en route for their honeymoon, the bride travelling in a costume of henna repp cloth, with hat to match.
