The interested parties were Mr Albert E. Bonfield, second son of Mr and Mrs S. Bonfield, of Moles Farm, Wyddiall, and Miss V.L. Springham, only daughter of Mr and Mrs A. Springham, of Waltham Abbey.
The bride looked very pretty in a white satin dress with a wrath of orange blossom and veil. She was given away by her father, Mr A. Springham. Two bridesmaids were in attendance, Miss A. Bonfield (sister of the bridegroom) and Miss M. Oram. Both were prettily dressed. The bride carried a bouquet of lilies.
There were about 60 people in the church to witness the ceremony, and 30 guests were present at the Wedding Breakfast, which was held at the bridegroom's home. The duties of best man were performed by Mr H. Pledger, jun. The wedding presents were numerous and useful, numbering over 60.
The happy couple are leaving Wyddiall shortly to take up their resience at Burnt Mill, Essex.
