The marriage took place at St Peter's Church, Copdock, near Ipswich, on
Wednesday last week [5 November 1913] of Miss Dulcie Katherine Bernard, youngest daughter of Mr & Mrs A M
Bernard, to Mr Ernest Cyril Miller,

Miller, of Merlewood, Grange. The church was filled with a fashionable
congregation, which included representatives of many well-known county families.
The bridegroom is a captain in the 3rd Battalion Loyal North

a dress of soft white brocaded crepe de chine, with diamante bretelles, and
trails of orange blossom on the trains, draped with very beautiful Devonshire
lace (the gift of her mother), veil of tulle, with wreath of orange blossom. She
carried a bouquet of white carnations, white heather and orange blossom, and
wore a star-sapphire and diamond pendant (the gift of the bridegroom) and a
diamond brooch (lent by her aunt, Mrs A Capel Cure). The bridesmaids were Miss
Avril Bernard (sister of the bride), Miss Rhona Miller (sister of the
bridegroom), Miss Ruby Miller (niece of the bridegroom) and Miss Sybil
Beauchamp. The three older bridesmaids wore dresses of pale blue crepe ninon,
trimmed with dark brown marabout, and small velvet hats to match with pale blue
ostrich feather mounts. Miss Ruby Miller was dressed in a more simple manner in
the same materials, and wore bronze shoes and stockings and a mushroomed-shape
velvet hat to match. They carried bouquets of pale pink carnations, tied with
blue ribbons, and wore blue butterflies' wings set under crystal as pendants,
both being gifts of the bridegroom. Mrs Bernard carried a bouquet of pink
carnations, with pink ribbon. The best man was Mr Thos Pitt Miller, brother of
the bridegroom. The service was read by the Ven Archdeacon of Suffolk, uncle of
the bride, assisted by the Rev Canon Beauchamp, rector of Copdock. An address
was given by the Rev Chancellor Bernard, Chaplain-in-Ordinary to the King, uncle
of the bride… The honeymoon will be spent in the New Forest, at a residence
