Reducing this clip's current date range, if the bride in this piece is indeed a member of the WRAF then the earliest the wedding can have taken place is 1918, that being the year the WRAF was founded.

I The RAF was founded in 1918 and the WRAF existed between 1918 and 1920. I suspect that this wedding took place in these 2 years. The interesting thing is that the reception seems to be outside of the officers' mess, whilst the bride is a sergeant and the groom is a lieutenant. Mixed rank marriages were obviously more accepted then than they were in later years
