Rich was the officiating clergyman. The bride, who was escorted by her aunt, Mrs William Burling, wore a suit of periwinkle blue embossed moracain with hat to match, and carried a posy of pink carnations. Mr R. Page was best man. After the ceremony Mrs Burling entertained the wedding party at afternoon tea. Mrs Burling wore a smart black frock and carried a posy of red carnations and autumn leaves.
