The bridegroom is an assistant teacher at Darwin-street Council School, Northwich, and is organist at Bethel Methodist Church, Norley. The bride formerly was employed as a stenographer by Crosville Motor Services Ltd. Rev. Philip E Pegg (minister) conducted the crermony, and Mr. A.H. Orme was at the organ. The hymns, "O, Perfect Love" and "God be with them while they stand" were sung, and the organist played the bridal music from "Lohengrin", and Mendelssohn's "Wedding March". Given away by her father, the bride was charmingly attired in a dress of white Charmeusse satin, with Halter neck-line, plaited silver lame head-dress and white silk net, and silver shoes. She carried a bouquet of arum lilies. She was attended by two bridesmaids, Miss Margaret Chrimes and Miss Dorothy L. Sims.
