Kenneth Rupert Hillbrick (1926-1938) & Evelyn Rachel Smith Wedding

Recently Wed HILLBRICK - SMITH
On Boxing Day, St John's Church of England was the scene of the wedding of a popular young couple in Mr. Ken Hillbrick and Miss Evelyn Smith. Dressed in a powder blue double, skirted frock, adorned with royal blue sequins, the bride looked very charming as she entered the church on the arm of Mr. Gerry Lardi, who filled the position in the absence of the bride's father, Mr. E. Smith of Wyalkatchem. A white hat with ¾-length veil set off the bride's ensemble. She carried a white cloth covered bible.
Matron of Honour, Mrs. Hyland, chose a frock of pretty burgandy, with white accessories. Bridegroom was attended by his brother, Sgt. A. C. Hillbrick, who was granted leave from Japan to act as best man at the wedding. The reception took place in the Kellerberrin Hotel, where 40 guests gathered to honour the occasion. Mr. Tom Pike ably filled the position of Master of Ceremonies and read many congratulatory telegrams. The happy couple were the recipients of many fine and useful gifts.
After the cutting of the beautiful wedding cake, made by Mr. Ralph Haworth of Mt. Barker, Mr. R. Hillbrick, father of the groom, spoke on behalf of absent friends, particularly the bride's father and the grooms mother, who were unable to be present. At 9.30 p.m. the happy couple bade adieu to their many well-wishing friends and departed on their honeymoon.
