The bride who was given away by her father, wore a pink floral dress, navy swagger coat, navy hat, shoes and gloves, carried a bouquet of pink carnations. She was attended by her sister, Miss Lilian M Howard, who wore blue-grey floral dress, with white hat, shoes and gloves, carried a bouquet of white carnations.
