The Rev H T Rush performed the ceremony, the bride was attended by her sister, Miss Marjorie Jackson, and Mr B R P Downing acted as best man. The church had been appropriately decorated by the girl friends of the bride, and the choir was in attendance with Mrs Hai as organist. After the ceremony, the bridal pair received their friends at the residence of the bride's parents. They left for Adelaide by motor, and on Thursday they sailed for Sydney, where the honeymoon is being spent."
