From "The Chronicle" 21 April 1932
     The marriage was celebrated at the Brighton Methodist Church of the Rev. David George Longbottom, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Longbottom, of Brae-foot Estate, Kooringa, to Audrey Agnes Maple, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Maple, Edward Street, Brighton. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. G. K. Haslam. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore ivory satin with a beautiful embroidered tulle veil, which formed the train. She carried a sheaf of white gladioli. Misses Jean George, cousin of the bride, and Mary Longbottom, sister of the bride groom, were frocked in apple green crepe satin with large green felt picture hats edged with tulle, and had shoes to match. They carried sheafs in buttercup tonings of gladioli and dahlias. Little Patsie Davis looked charming in buttercup crepe satin, early Victorian style. She carried a basket of roses, and walked ahead of the bride strewing rose petals.
     The bridegroom was attended by his brother, Mr. E. Longbottom, and the bride's brother, Mr. M. Maple, as groomsman.
     When the register was being signed Miss M. Barnard, cousin of the bride, sang. As the bride was leaving the church a horseshoe was hung on her arm by her sister Ellison. The bride's mother was smartly gowned in black crepe satin, with hat to match, and carried a posy of red carnations. The bridegroom's mother chose navy marocain, with hat to tone. She carried a posy of autumn tints. The church was decorated by friends of the bride. The choir girls, dressed in white, formed a guard as the bride stepped from her car.
     After the ceremony intimate friends and relatives were entertained at the home of the bride's parents. Mr. and Mrs. D. Longbottom left by car for the honeymoon. The bride's travelling dress was a navy blue ensemble relieved with white, with hat and shoes, &c, to tone.¹
