      The bride is particularly well known, being a member of the Southwell family whose centenary celebrations were held at Canberra recently.

      Great bowls of dahlias, and Easter daisies, and a most unusual festoon of marigolds made one of the most beautiful displays of flowers ever seen in the church.

      The bride made a beautiful picture as she walked down the aisle. Her train gown was of white angel skin lace over satin, and she carried a bouquet of white gladioli and tuberoses while her long cut tulle veil was held in place by a cluster of gardenias.

      Misses Sadie and Hilda Watt and Miss Rhosa Southwell, sisters and cousin of the bride respectively, were her maids of honour and they wore perfectly cut gowns of a delightful shade of salmon pink. The circular swing skirts were flounced with match ing lace as also were the bodices and short, slightly puffed sleeves. They carried shower bouquets of talisman roses and their tulle head dresses were held in place by a top knot of roses to mjatch their bouquets.

      The gentlemen attendants to the groom were Mr. Victor Wilson (best man); and Messrs. Jim Brissenden and Nevin Watt (groomsmen.

      The ushers were Mr. Rex Smith, Mr Hugh McColl and Mr Viv Morgan.

      Mr. Ron Diprose drove the bridal car.

      Just before the bride entered the church Miss Joyce Mote sang 'When Song is Sweet' and in the course of the service the choir rendered 'O Perfect Love.' Miss Esmide Smith sang 'All Joy Be Thine' during the signing of the register.

      After the ceremony the 150 guests were received at the Soldiers' Memorial Hall by Mrs Allan Watt and Mrs T. F Mitchell. The former wore a navy frock with insertions of gold, navy accessories and a posy of autumn tinted roses Mrs Mitchell chose an ensemble of black, relieved with floral trimmings and a posy of pink and cream, roses.
