The Rev. Mr Bartram performed the ceremony, and the hymn, "The voice that breathed o'er Eden" was sung. The Psalm chanted was "Blessed are they they that fear the Lord and walk in His ways". At the close of the ceremony Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" was played on the organ. The bride is a member of the choir and also a member of the Girl's Friendly Society,
The bride, who was given away by her father, was attired in an ankle-length gown of shell-pink crepe-de-chine and picture hat with orange blossom and pink satin ribbon, and wore silver shoes. Her bouquet was of arum lilies and maidenhair fern. Two bridesmaids accompanied the bride - Miss Margaret Maud Robley, sister of the bride, and Miss Edith J. Blaylock, sister of the bridegroom. They wore ankle length gowns of blue satin and picture hats trimmed with blue velvet and blue satin shoes to tone; each wore a gold and pearl necklace, the gifts of the bridegroom, and carried bouquets of bronze chrysanthemums and maiden hair fern. Mr. Arthur Blaylock, brother of the bridegroom, was best man, and Mr. John Robley, brother of the bride, acted as groomsman.
The reception was held at the bride's home, where the usual toasts were honoured. Mr. and Mrs. Blaylock were the recipients of many handsome and useful presents; the bridegroom's gift to the bride was a gold and diamond dress ring. Later in the day Mr. Blaylock's bride travelled in a blue ensemble.
