Her full length pale blue tulle veil was beautifully hand embroidered, and held by a coronet of orange blossoms. White hyacinths and carnations formed her lovely bouquet. Mr. N. L. Bassett gave his daughter away. Preceding the bride down the aisle was the pretty little flower girl, Laurice McGrath cousin of the bride. She wore a pretty blue crepe frock made the same as the bride's two attendants; a coronet of flowers on her brown curls and carried a basket of roses. Miss Gwen Tuedt, of Five Dock, and Mrs. Charles Toni, both friends of the bride, were bridesmaid and matron of honour respectively. They wore pretty blue crepe gowns, with sweetheart neckline, gathered front, short sleeves, full skirts and matching heart-shaped crowns. Their attractive bouquets were of pink carnations and blue hyacinths. Duties of best man were carried out by Mr. Victor Vaughan, and Mr. Leslie Bassett, brother of the bride, was groomsman. During the signing of the register, "You're Mine" was rendered. One hundred and twenty-three guests then assembled at the Legion Hall, Claring Cross, where they were received by Mrs. Bassett. Her fawn ensemble was trimmed with brown and she wore brown accessories, natural straw hat trimmed with brown veiling and wore a shoulder spray of red roses. Mrs. Hutchison assisted Mrs. Bassett, choosing a grey ensemble with navy accessories and shoulder spray of red roses also. Mr. P. Connolly was the chairman and the usual toasts were honoured. Some old friends came by car from Lindfield to the reception, namely Mr and Mrs. A.

Shephard. Music was played for all the toasts. Many congratulatory telegrams were received by the bridal couple. At the conclusion of the breakfast, Mr. Vic Bassett, cousin of the bride, sang "The Bells of St. Mary's”. After this the hall was cleared to allow of the enjoyment of dancing to a three piece orchestra. At 9 o'clock all the single girls formed a ring & the bride threw her bouquet, which was cought by Shirley Wall, who is to be a bride herself in October.
