Miss Alma Brickland, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid, and wore a pale blue satin beaute ankle length frock with silver spray and head dress and carried a sheath of pale pink gladioli, also made by Mrs Black.

• Notes

  Notes from Thelma: I was conceived in Canada and born in NZ on the 2nd March 1918 at the Taihape Maternity Hospital. I was my parents 3rd child and 3rd daughter - much to my father's disappointment. My sister Eleanor was 3 ½ and sister Eileen was 2. Both my older sisters were born in Chase, BC, Canada. At the time of my birth my father was farming at Pukeahau near Taihape and this is where I started school. Going to school involved a 3 mile horse ride each way on one horse - yes, my sisters and I rode bareback and the horse was tethered along with the other pupils' horses while we attended class. In 1925 (when I was 7yo) and with a few more sisters, we moved to PioPio where our father had purchased another farm. I was officially enrolled in the PioPio School on 1st June 1925 with the Register No. 736
