The bride, who was given away by her father, looked charming in a dress of ivory cloche with embroidered veil and flowered headdress and carried a bouquet of pale pink carnations. She was attended by three bridesmaids, little Miss Dean Pierce, Miss P. Shadbolt and Miss M. Harvey, friends of the bride. Miss Dean Pierce and Miss Shadbolt wore pale ankle length dresses and Miss Harvey wore a pale mauve ankle length dress, and each wore a bracelet, the gift of the bridegroom. Capt. C. H. Ballard, friend of the bridegroom was best man. On leaving the church, the bride was presented with a silver horseshoe by her cousin, Miss M. Badcock. A reception was held at the bride’s home where about 30 guests were entertained. The newly-married pair who received many presents, including cheques, are spending their honeymoon in London.’ Muriel Hayes says that the woman on the left was an evacuee who was staying with Audrey’s aunt and uncle in Saffron Walden and the little girl in the photo lived next door to Audrey.
