Wedding from about 1930, probably in Sydney.

This photo must have been taken in about 1930. My grandparents - Dimitri and Eleni Prineas (Haniotis) are in the centre behind the best man, my grandfather holding my Aunty Mary. Can anyone recognise anyone else? Aunty Sophia Coumbi next to the bride? Aunty Tasia to the left of the groom?
