Wedding: Lieut. Brian Gourley to Miss Violet Dupree: The prettiest wedding which has taken place in Southsea lately, was that of Miss Violet Dupree, second daughter of Sir William Dupree, DL., and Lady Dupree, of Craneswater, Southsea, to Lieut. Brian Cameron Gourley, R.N., of H.M.S. Cochrane, youngest son of the late Dr. Samuel Gourley, of West Hartlepool. The wedding was celebrated at St. Jude’s Church, Southsea, and was conducted by the Rev. J. Willis Price (uncle of the bride), and the Rev. M. G. Archibald. Miss Dupree was married in ivory satin charmeuse, with a tunic of ninon-de-sole, encrusted with tiny pearls and crystals. There were four bridesmaids, all sisters of the bride and bridegroom, who wore pastel blue dresses of mousseline taffetas. Their frocks were gracefully arranged with tunics embroidered with roses and heliotrope and were worn with tagal straw “Dresden” hats, wreathed with shaded roses. Lieut. Clive Pinsent was the best man. Sir William and Lady Dupree afterwards entertained their guests at Craneswater, prior to the departure of the bride and bridegroom for the Lake District.
