There's a Stanley wedding in Aberdeen - but the city in Scotland, not the village in Hong Kong. It takes place in Beechgrove Church and the bride wears a woolen suit with wine accesories.
Sub-Inspector John W. MacDonald of the Hong Kong Police marries Miss Mary G. Lay. The couple remember the day back in Stanley when they agreed to marry and the special rice 'party' they held to celebrate.
Three of the people who contributed rice that day are with them to celebrate marriage: W. Morrison, B. T. Ross and E. J. Stewart, all Scottish members of the Hong Kong police.
