Her long tulle veil fell from an orange blossom headband over the train. The bridesmaids, Misses Maud Williams, Joyce Shearer and Gytha Johnson (sister of the bridegroom), wore cream frilled stiffened picture frocks and large cream picture hats tied under the chin with scarlet velvet ribbon falling to the hems of the frock. Pat Brunton, a cousin of the bride, was flower girl. The duties of best man were carried out by Mr Arthur Bell, of Wellington, and Messrs. Peter Johnson and Stuart Varton were groomsmen.
