The bride, who entered the church with her father, wore a trained gown of magnolia satin, cut on princess lines. Her embroidered veil was held in place by a coronet of orange blossom, both these being lent by a friend. Her bouquet was composed of lilies, stock, asters and fern.

The bride’s sister, Edith, supported her as bridesmaid, wearing a charming frock of French blue georgette over satin and a halo of blue and gold flowers, and carried a pretty bouquet of blue and gold. Mr Alec MacDonald supported his brother as best man.
