Marriage of Miss N. Dickson. – At the Parish Church of St. Mary the Virgin on Saturday afternoon the marriage took place of Flying Officer Cecil Hayley, youngest son of Mr. J. W. Hayley, of Caterham, and of the late Mrs. Hayley, and Miss Noreen Dickson, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Dickson, Brook Farm, Weston Turville. The bride was dressed in a gown of moonlight blue moss crepe, her hair was crowned with flowers and she wore silver shoes. She carried a bouquet of carnations and white heather. The bridesmaid, Miss Betty Gibson, of Cuddington, a life-long friend of the bride, wore a gown of dawn pink cloque, with a headdress and scarf veil to match, and carried a bouquet of pink carnations. The bridesmaid wore a gold R.A.F. brooch, the gift of the bridegroom. Flying Officer Warrington was best man. The Rector (the Rev. H. W. Wheeler) officiated. The service was fully choral. The hymns "Come, Gracious Spirit, Heavenly Dove" and "O, Perfect Love" were rendered by the choir. Mr. Hobbs presiding at the organ. There was a merry peal on the church bells as the bridal party left the church for the reception at Brook Farm, the home of the bride, which was attended by more than 70 guests. Arrangements for a honeymoon in Dorset had to be cancelled at the last moment as the bridegroom has been re-called to his squadron, so that a brief honeymoon was spent in London. The bride's travelling dress was of brown and light tan, and she carried a brown leather handbag and a monogrammed dressing case, gifts of the bridegroom. The couple were the recipients of nearly 100 presents.
