Married:
- The marriage of Miss Myra Eileen Coker, fourth daughter of the late Mr. L. Coker and Mrs. Coker, Rockhampton, to Mr. R. Ralph, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph, Rockhampton, was celebrated at St. Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday afternoon, at half-past 2 o'clock. The Rev. Canon J. A. Cue officiated. The bride, who was given away by Mr. R. G. Tucker, wore a pretty and becoming frock of ivory georguese, hand embroidered with cream chenille, and made long waisted effect. The bodice yoke was of interlaced faggoting, finished with posies of georgette and silver. She wore an Egyptian cap over a tulle veil, which formed the train, and was finished with orange blossoms. She carried a beautiful bouquet of white lilies and chrysanthemums. Miss L. Harding was bridesmaid. She was attired in a pretty soft lemon georgette frock made in panel effect, defined with pleating of ivory georgette and finished with hand embroidery in contrasting shades, finished at the waist with small flowers. She wore a pretty white crinoline Lady Betty hat shaded in yellow and trimmed with French flowers, tissue, and streamers, and carried a pretty bouquet of flowers. Mrs. Coker, mother of the bride, wore a handsome black georgette frock over morocain with a black ribbon hat, the crown being covered with a black osprey falling across the back. Mrs. Ralph, mother of the bridegroom, wore a becoming gown of black morocain and a black hat ensuite. Mr. T. Coker, brother of the bride, was best man. At the conclusion of the ceremony the bridal party adjourned to the A.C.B. Cafe, where the breakfast was held. The tables were tastefully decorated with Iceland poppies, sweet peas, and butterflies in lemon shade. A white wedding bell was hung over the bridal couple. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph left later for Yeppoon, where the honeymoon is being spent. The bride travelled in a smart dress of shot brown and green pussy willow, long swathed bodice, and pleated skirt, finished with shaded hand embroidery to harmonise, and a smart bronze shot georgette cloche hat, crown of bronze, with folded back and flowers in shade of bronze to harmonise.
