The service was choral, the bride's sister (Mrs. R. Porter) presiding at the organ. Members of the local orchestra, of which the bride and bridegroom are members, assisted.

Miss Myrtle Wright attended the bride as bridesmaid, and wore a dress of pale blue georgette embroidered with white silk. She carried a bouquet of old gold roses. The bridegroom was supported by his brother, Mr. V. Hardwick, as best man. After the ceremony a reception was held in Wesley Hall, which together with the church had been beautifully decorated by friends of the bride. Mrs. Pyke wore a dress of black grenadine trimmed with satin, and black hat, while the bridegroom's mother was dressed in black charbieuse and black hat.
