Thank you all for your help.  In response to the bride having a wedding dress it's because I think this was a pre WWII photo; I believe the groom was a career military man.  I have found a photo of him dated 1931 in Sudan so I believe that this photo was pre WWII.
How can you tell the difference between an army and RAF uniform and the rank according to the stripes?  I would like to learn a little more about this if anyone would be able to tell me?   :)

The reason why I thought it might be 1940s was because the style of the hat worn by the lady in the background appears to be a 40s rather than 30s style...but I could be wrong.

Just to add to Carol's dating ~

I Have a photo of a cousin's wedding mid - late 1930s, and the bride wore a dresss like that and the bridesmaid had a hat like the one Carol refers to.
