"We had about 80 guests present", Katie mentioned, "which wasn't considered a big wedding at that time. Most would have had about 200 or so guests". Katie, beautiful in a long blue formal gown, received the many guests and friends who came to bring best wishes to the happy couple.

The group enjoyed a chartered bus trip to the Hamilton area. Stopping at the Royal Botanical Gardens at Burlington, the ladies viewed the numerous varieties of flowers. A large number of various species and shades of iris were on exhibit which were just at the peak. The peonies were just starting to bloom. The tour then moved to another part of the 200 acre tract at the western most tip of Lake Ontario. The internationally famed garden was formed in abandoned gravel pits and has become widely known for its distinctive educational flowers. Leaving the gardens the group drove to Rockton to a completely different atmosphere and visited the African Safari. Driving through winding roads cheetas, baboons, lions, tigers, giraffs, elephants , ostriches, camels, rhinos, elk, buffalo, deer, wild turkeys, zebras and black bears all were seen roaming freely about the area seemingly oblivious to the passing motorists. On the other hand, playful monkeys frequently jumped on the hood of the slow moving cars much to the amusement of all. Kitchener was the last scheduled stop and the ladies spent two hours shopping at the Fairview Mall, and enjoyed a refreshing meal before returning home. President, Mrs. Alden Craven expressed her thanks to the bus committee, Mrs. Lyle Lee and Mrs. Roy Morton. She also thanked bus driver, Peter McNaughton, for his skillful driving.
