Iris and Cyril Gaby.jpg

This photo was taken of Iris and Cyril Gaby just after their wedding at the Catholic Cathedral on 6th October 1934. I'm not sure if it is outside the cathedral itself. Iris must be in her "going away" clothes, as there is also a photo of her in her wedding dress on the way to her wedding. A press notice says that the honeymoon was to be spent at the Repulse Bay Hotel, so not far away! The photo comes from the Gaby family collection courtesy their chronicler, Stuart Preddy. Iris's mother Elizabeth Warnes and my grandmother, Hannah Warren were half sisters and brought up together in the Olson family.
