The church was ‘tastefully decorated by girl friends of the bride…two arches were arranged and these were intertwined with greenery and ferns and with masses of almond blossoms’ . The hymn ‘The Voice That Breathed O’er Eden’ was sung as the bride entered the church. Clara was given away by her brother-in-law, Mr J.L. Walker, and the reception took place at ‘Bourabaya,’ property of Mr and Mrs J.L. Walker. Clara and Charles left for their honeymoon at Ravenswood ‘amidst showers of confetti,’ with Clara dressed in a ‘tango cloth coat and skirt, and a hat of black velvet with blue ostrich feather’.
