The back was trimmed with tiny pink bows, and the skirt was very full to form a train. Her pink tulle veil kindly lent by a friend, was finished with a coronet of orange blossom. The bride carried a shower bouquet of pink carnations, rosebuds and maidenhair fern. Attending the bride as matron of honour was her sister, Mrs J. Nichols, while Misses Hetty and Lois Winter, twin nieces of the bride, were bridesmaids.
