The marriage was solemnised by the Rev. Tom Allan, at the pretty little Carmel Church, which had been decorated by girl-friends of the bride. Mr. Owen presided at the organ, and as the bride entered the church on her father's arm. The congregation sang. “The Voice that breathed o'er –Eden”. The bride's dress was ivory white silk georgette with the skirt made in embroidered panels, finished with lace and forming a scalloped edge. The bodice was finely pleated and trimmed with beautiful lace and embroidered motifs to match the skirt. An exquisitely worked tulle veil and wreath of orange blossoms and a shower bouquet of white roses and maidenhair fern, with white and silver baby ribbon streamers completed a charming toilette. Two sisters of the bride were in attendance. Miss Flora Hewison wore palest pink silk georgette; made with finely pleated panels falling from the shoulders and trimmed with dainty rosebud trimmings, and Miss Alice Hewison heliotrope silk georgette made in a very pretty design with heliotrope and silver rose bud trimming and caught at the low waist with handsome paste buckle.

The bridegroom’s presents to the bridesmaids were quaint gold signet rings. The reception was held at Mr. H. Weston’s, where a huge bough shed had been built for the purpose, the roof of which was hung with pink heliotrope and white flowers and streamers, and a white wedding bell, against the background of cool eucalypti. The effect was novel and pretty. Mrs. Hewison received her guests (about 200) in a smart dress of silk voile of palest grey, embroidered in crushed strawberry and trimmed with touches of the same shade of silk and a lovely black hat; Mrs. G. Weston, sister of the bride, wore a salmon pink crepe de chine made with pin tucks and fine pleatings on sleeves, hat en suite; Mrs. R.

HOUSTON - DICKSON Saturday 22nd April 1944 Perth's most unique wedding equipage for years, caused quite a flutter among the quests and crowds of onlookers, and was one wonder whether it was really 1944, and just what was afoot. Reason for the horse-drawn vehicles, bearing a wedding party from the Cathedral was the fact that taxis booked for the event were off the road because of a strike. Not to be outdone, and not to be dependent upon his friends meager rations of petrol, RAN sailor Herbert George Houston decided on blending old-world with the new, and hired two of "Pup" Wallman's sulkies to take the place of the taxis. Result - something which astonished Perth, and proved the resourcefulness of the younger generation when in a spot. It was a brilliant idea on his part, and the beautiful sunshiny day added to the picturesque scene as the couple left the church and walked between an informal guard of honor of the bridegroom's shipmates to their waiting carriage. Bride at St. George's Cathedral was Betty Eileen, youngest daughter of Mr. Alfred Dickson (Supt. of Prisons) and Mrs. Dickson, Barton's Mill, who was married to Herbert George Houston, RAN, second son of the late Mr. G. A. Houston, of Geraldton, and Mrs. J. G. Fraser, Barton's Mill. Groom's father was one-time State Oars Champion, and Mayor of Geraldton. The bride, accompanied by her father, wore an afternoon frock of white crepe with draped bodice and embroidered panel at the waist. She added a white flowered togue and carried gardenias and tuberoses. Her bridesmaid chose a pale blue long-waisted crepe frock, with white accessories. Leading Seaman Robert Moore was best man. Smiling happily the bride was handed into the sulky, waved to the applauding crowd, and blushed in confusion as the bridegroom gave her a hearty kiss. Drawn by their smartly-stepping horses, the outfits went along to the photographers' again followed by an interested crowd, and later were driven to the reception at Durbridge Hall, South Perth. The M.C. was Mr. W. C. G. (Billy) Thomas.
