Note: In 1978 Bunty sent E.M.S. newspaper cuttings about their wedding. "The wedding of Miss Bunty Whitty, second daughter of the late Mr. Harold Whitty of Berrigan, N.S.W. and Mrs. Mona Whitty of Double Bay to Mr. Stanley Wilson of Sandringham, Victoria, will take place at St. Columba's Church, Woollahra next Tuesday. The bride will wear her mother's wedding dress which was also worn by her sister Mrs. James Macquarrie Anthill who will be matron of honour. Family heirlooms, a Honiton lace veil more than 150 years old and a gold bracelet given to the bride's great aunt by Queen Alexandra will be worn by the bride."
Next came a photograph of the bridal couple, the caption dated 21 May 1947.
The account said they had married "last night" and gave similar details to the earlier one, with the addition that the bride's gown was heavy cream satin, and that the reception had been held at the home of the bride, Cooper Street, Double Bay, and that they would live in Victoria.
