    Stanley Dominy was the bride's father, W. Cooper who was probably the Best Man as well as a witness and Frank Hodge was the groom's brother. The groom's parents were dead but some of his surviving siblings may have been there. As the bride's father was a witness he was certainly there together with is wife Lavinia. Whether there were any other guests is not known. Dorothy was 5 months pregnant when she married Wallace so it may have been a marriage of convenience. However, it is known that Dorothy was being courted by both Wallace and his twin brother Horace who was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1931 and obviously the courtship with Wallace continued after Horace's death.
