The church had been prettily decorated by relations and friends of the bride, and a wedding bell was suspended above the bridal party. The Rev. F. A. Thompson, of Auckland. formerly of Te Awamutu, was the officiating clergyman, and Airs. F. Gibson presided at the organ.

The train, which fell from the waist-line, was of silver lace with applique of silver and finished with tiny picot edged frills of mariette, and a spray of hand-made ring velvet and silver tissue flowers. She wore a veil of Spanish net with Spanish lace embroidered in silver arranged softly round the face, and kept in position on the head with a coronet of orange blossom. She carried a shower bouquet of clematis, lilies and trailing ferns with silver ribbons. She was attended by her sisters, Aliss Hazel and Aliss Alyrtle Flay, as bridesmaids. The first bridesmaid wore an ankle-length frock of foxglove pink georgette, with a prettily tucked Victorian bodice and a flared skirt with flowing godets appliqued in silver lovers’ knots, and wore a silver crinoline picture hat trimmed to tone. : Her bouquet was of mauve asters and asparagus fern.
