"ZIMMERN-KOTEWALL WEDDING

Two of the Colony's most respected families were united by marriage on Friday when Doris Kotewall, third daughter of Sir Robert Kotewall, C.M.G., L.L.D., became the wife of Frederick Zimmern, the well-known solicitor and sportsman. Bride and groom are seen above, just after the ceremony in St. John's Cathedral."
