  The Canberra Times Saturday 25 November 1972 p 1 Married despite crutches Miss Valerie Forsyth, of Yarralumla, walked down the aisle on crutches instead of carrying a conventional bouquet to marry Dr Hans Tammamagi, a Canadian, at St Andrew's Church, Forrest, yesterday. She was followed closely by her matron-of-honour,Mrs Helen Stoeckel, who was also on crutches. Both women were victims of two separate ski-ing accidents in August this year. Mrs Tammamagi, a secretary with the Department of Immigration, fractured her thigh and as a result spent three months in hospital. Her original wedding date was in October. Although she would be using crutches for another month the wedding could no longer be postponed as Dr Tammamagi has to leave shortly for London where he has a job. He has a doctorate in geophysics from the ANU. The couple had originally planned to hitch-hike through South America for their honeymoon before going to England. Instead they will have to fly to Canada in time to spend Christmas with Dr Tammamagi's parents in Ontario, Canada.
