The tall graceful bride, who entered the church on the arm of Mr. A. H. Morieson, who gave her away, wore a princess sown of Ivory satin moulded to the figure. The bodice, which was lightly beaded In ivory and diamente had shoulder straps of diamente and a flared waist length cape, and was finished with a narrow belt and diamente buckle. The full-length flared skirt was finished with a flared and draped flounce, and the only ornament worn was a short string of pearls. Her veil of hand-embroidered Brussels net (lent by Mrs. G. H. Davis) was worn Madonna fashion, caught to the nape of the neck with a half-circlet of orange buds, from which it fell to form a short train. She carried a beautiful sheaf of encharist lilies and tuber roses, arranged with white satin streamers. Miss Ella St George attended as bridesmaid.
