A choral service accompanied the ceremony. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a lovely trained dress of ivory satin, draped with ninon, and a short tunic of palest pink crepe de chine, edged with seed pearls. The bodice,was of Honiton lace; veiled with pale pink ninon. The pointed train was caught with orange blossom and seed pearl tassels. A handsome Limerick lace veil (made by her mother) was worn, and a sheaf of pink and white flowers in, a quaint silver holder (a century old) carried. The bridesmaids were Miss Madge Suon (Ballarat) and Miss Doris Brown (Adelaide). They wore pretty pink crepe de chine frocks, with short tunics of pink marquisette, edged with fairy roses. Pink tulle .veils, wreathed with pink roses, were worn, and sheafs of pink and white wattle veiled with tulle, carried. Little Wanda Woolcott (cousin of the bride), who acted as train-bearer, was attired in a similar costume to the bridesmaids. The bridegroom's gifts were: To the bride,'pearl ring;' to' first maid, silver bag; to second maid, signet ring; to train-bearer, silver bag. 'Bride to bridegroom, traveling, rug. Mr. F. Stanistreet was best man and Mr. F. Woolcott groomsman. After the ceremony a reception was held at Mc-Combe's Hall, and later the bride and bridegroom left by motor for Murtoa to catch the train to Melbourne.
