Marriage-Notice*10 May 1934 Kermode-Cronin
PALE orchid mauve set off by deeper mauve fuchsias, and pansies was chosen by Miss Kathleen Gladys Cronin, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs Laurence Kimberly Cronin, of "Struan," Hillside Parade, South Camberwell, for her bridesmaids' frocks, when she married Mr Eric Crellin Kermode, eldest son of the late Mr Eric Kermode, and of Mrs Kermode, of "Zelk,' Douglas Street, East Malvern, and late of Tasmania. The wedding took place on April 13 at the Melbourne Grammar School Chapel, and was celebrated by the Rev. P. St. T. Wilson.
The bride's frock was fashioned of parchment satin, which moulded the figure and flared out into a long train. Her veil of soft parchment tulle was caught to her head with a halo of orange blossom.
The bridesmaids were the Misses Audrey Cronin, Peggy Cronin, and Elsie Manton, and the five-year-old trainbearer was little Ruth Cronin. Their orchid tulle frocks were extremely full below the knees and graduated into small trains. Their flowers matched the velvet sashes of their frocks. Black opal brooches were worn by the elder bridesmaids, while both Peggy and Ruth Cronin wore wristlet watches—the gifts of the bridegroom. The best man was Mr Lewis Kermode and Mr Tom Raynes Dickson acted as groomsman.
A wedding dinner which was afterwards followed by a dance was held at 9 Darling Street.3
