Mrs. Alvin Macklem, as matron of honor, wore yellow mousseline-de-soie, and her bouquet was of blue and white flowers. Her accessories were yellow. Little Bonnie Thomas, niece of the groom, as flower girl, was attired in orchid silk and wore a yellow hat. She carried a basket of mixed garden flowers.

The best man was Alvin Macklem, and the ushers were Patrick Laughlin and Francis Dunn.

The church was beautifully decorated with garden flowers, blue and white being used on the altar, while yellow flowers were tastefully arranged at the sides of the church. The lighting effect received from candles in the foreground made a most attractive setting, all of which added solemn dignity to the impressive ceremony.

Covers were laid for 27, eight of whom were seated at the bride's table which was decorated in pink, white and silver. Rose petals were drifted on the table and the bride's cake, as enter piece, was decorated with roses. Favors were miniature boxes, filled with wedding cake and tied with silver ribbon.
