The bridge's dress fell in a straight line from the lace yoke. The wide French lace sleeves were studded with pearls, and her train was of the same crepe material as her dress, For something old she wore a necklace which had been worn by her mother and maternal grandmother at their weddings. She carried a cascade bouquet of gardenias and stephanotis.

The maid of honor was Miss Bonnie Hill, sister of the bridge, with bridesmaids Misses Marilyn Hill and Betty Ann Wilson all similarly attired in demure yellow eyelet embroidered dresses, and daisy kerchief headdresses. They carried yellow daisy 'mums.'

The groom was attended by his brother, Bert Wilson, and the ushers were Raymond Rusk brother-in law of the bride, and Carl McMillan, friend of the groom. They wore tuxedos, with daisy boutonnières. The groom's boutonniere was a sprig of stephanotis.

The bridal procession entered the church to the strains of Edelweiss and during the signing of the register the organist, Mrs. Lester Stinson, played Cole Porter's "Tree Love".

After viewing the gifts at the home of the bride's parents, the guests drove to Honeywood for the reception in the Norduff Room which was effectively decorated with spring flowers and "flowering" birch trees.

The bride's mother received, wearing a pink lace ensemble, and the groom's mother wore a yellow suit dress.
