The bridesmaids were her nieces, Miss Mary and Miss Margaret Warren, and Miss Madeleine Shakespeare. They wore blue velvet dresses cut in Victorian style, with silver shoes and head-dresses of cream roses, and carried posies of the same flowers; each wore a gold cross and chain, the gift of the bridegroom.

The bride’s mother wore a black and white two-piece of figured crepe-de-chine with hat to tone. The best man was Mr. A. J. Schofield.

The service, which was choral, was conducted by the Rev. T Hyslop, with Mr. Hadden as organist. The choir sang the hymns , “Lead us, Heavenly Father” and “O Perfect Love”.
