"Believe me it's a five mile walk down that aisle in the cathedral".
Battye Oral History 299 Amy Elizabeth LeFroy nee Draper born 1901.

Bruce Brown. "Sparks" Fortnightly, 11 February 1922, p.19.
Jan 1945.
Actually I wore a beautiful blue crepe frock. Very hard to get a bridal gown and you were given coupons which I mean nobody could afford the amount of coupons for a bridal frock, if you could get them. No, I bought an ordinary blue, very nice, blue frock. Oh I don't know, it was long-waisted or something.
