Her wedding dress was a white net oever satin, with satin embroidered bodice and she wore a finger-tip veil held by a wreath of orange blossoms.

At the close of the marriage ceremony, Miss Jenette Howie of Harrow sang "Because," during the signing of the register. Later a reception was held for the immediate relatives and friends and refreshments were served to the gathering by Misses Loraine Wood, Jeanette Ferguson, Phyllis Hardcastle, Janette Howie, Audrey Furough, Helen Jackson and Ruth Kaiser, classmates of the bride, who graduated with her from Grace Hospital, Windsor. They wore dotted swiss dresses and carnations in their hair. The table was tastefully decorated with a handmade lace table cloth, centered with the wedding cake and tall tapers at each end.

Following the reception, the happy young couple left on a honeymoon trip to Niagara Falls, Washington, D.C. and the Eastern States.
