Married: COKER-RICHARDSON
A picturesque wedding was celebrated in St. Paul's Cathedral on August 14 at 11 a.m., when Myrtle, fourth daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Richardson Henry-street, Rockhampton, was married to Lawrence, fourth son of the late Mr. Coker and Mrs. Coker, Kabra. Canon S. W. G. Frost officiated.
Given away by her father the bride looked charming in her frock of ivory spun angel skin, made on classical lines, the gored skirt falling in graceful folds to her ankles. The bodice was finished with a Nelly work yoke and tight-fitting sleeves, with shirred puffs to the elbows.
Her soft veil of Brussels net was worn in Madonna style, and held in place with a spray of orange blossom. She carried a lovely flower bouquet of eucharis lilies, white roses, pale pink and white sweetpeas and real orange blossoms, tied with narrow ivory satin ribbons.
Misses Phyllis and Isabel Richardson, sisters of the bride, were bridesmaids, and they were dressed alike in frocks of pink georgette worn ankle-length and trimmed with tiny frills and bows, featuring puff sleeves shirred at the shoulders.
They wore long lace mittens. Their hats of pink crinoline straw were caught at the sides with velvet camellias. They carried bouquets of pale pink and rose pink sweetpeas, pink Maman Cochet roses and ageratum, tied with satin ribbons to tone with their frocks. All the bouquets were made by Mr. George Hansen.
Mr. Roy Coker, brother of the bridegroom, was best man end Mr. Douglas Richardson was groomsman.
During the signing of the register Mrs. O'Connor sang "Beloved, It Is Morn." Rev. E. H. Streeten presided at the organ. On leaving the church the bride was presented with a dainty silver horseshoe by little Jackie Neddris, who also strew rose petals in her path.
The wedding breakfast was held at the residence of the bride's parents, where the decorations were carried out in pink and white. The tables were adorned with vases of roses, gerberas and sweetpeas, pride of place being given to the beautiful three-tiered wedding cake made by Mr. Baker. Canon Frost presided at the breakfast.
Mrs. Richardson received the guests in a grey floral crinkled crepe gown with touches of red and a grey hat to harmonise. She carried a bouquet of red roses and maidenhair fern. Mrs. Coker, mother of the bridegroom, chose a frock of brown marocain trimmed with castle and a hat to tone.
Mr. and Mrs. Coker left by car for their honeymoon, the bride travelling in an ensemble of cigar brown marocain relieved with mustard trimmings and a brown silk pedalline straw hat.
