The reception was held afterwards at the Francis Cafe, Parker Street, Liverpool ( I have one of the original invitations ).

I see that the Witnesses were Best Man George Leslie ("Les") Young and the Bride's Maid was Doris C Jones - I think this must be the future wife of George Scardifield, draughtsman who worked at Saunders Row, Cowes, Isle of Wight. Doris and My Mum Rene Roby were best friends.3,4

Interestingly, Harold Snelson was living a few hundred yards or so away from the Roby family, in 5 Elstree Street from Irene Roby at 18 Elm Vale. We know they both went to St Johns Church and played badminton together. So, almost boy and girl next door.
