Miss Pat Mustoe, sister of the bridegroom, in pale pink silk net over satin, Miss Mary Stewart attired in blue taffeta with matching headdress and veil, while Miss Patsy Jane Stewart wore a dress of beige net over turquoise. The Misses Stewarts are nieces of the bridegroom. The three elder attendants carried bouquets of multi-coloured sweet peas and the younger bridesmaid carried a Victorian post. The best man was Mr R Harker, brother-in-law, of the bridegroom, who deputised for the bridegroom’s brother, who is serving overseas.
