As the bride entered the auditorium her pathway was strewn with rose petals by the little flower girl, who was her little sister. Mrs. F. H. Conway of Vancouver played the wedding march.

Following the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served at the home of the bride’s parents to a large number of invited guests. Later in the afternoon the young couple left on a honeymoon. They will be at home to their many friends at their new home near Ridgefield in about two weeks.
