The bride, who entered the church escorted by her father, was charmingly attired in a gown of white needlerun lace, cut on slim-fitting.lines and flaring from the knees to form a train. Her beautiful tulle veil which was mounted with a coronet of orange blossom, was worn over lhe face and fell in soft folds to form a second train. She carried a shower bouquet of lilies, carnations, sweetpeas and maidenhair fern. The bride was attended by Miss Peggy Cruickshank as bridesmaid and Audrey Harrington, niece of the bride, as flowergirl, both of whom were very daintily attired in pink georgette over satin, wearing flowers in their hair and carrying bouquets to tone.

On leaving the church the bride was presented with a lucky horseshoe by her little piece, Valerie Wootton.
