Bride uses “something old” in homemade jewellery
Trinity Anglican Church, Blyth
was the setting for an evening
wedding, June 5, 2010 when
Elisabeth (Lisa) Rosser and Shawn
Bromley, both of Blyth were united
in marriage.
The bride is the daughter of Steve
and Mary Ann Rosser, Denfield, and
the groom is the son of Brad and
Anita Bromley of Denfield, and
formerly of Blyth.
Rev. Perry Chuipka officiated for
the ceremony. The groom’s aunt,
Linda Meier of Belgrave, gave a
reading. The Prayers of the People
were led by the bride’s aunt,
Elisabeth Geertsma of London.
The bride’s gown was an off-
white, lace-up, with silver lace
overlay, silver lace cap sleeves, and
beading detail under the bust and
down the right side. She wore a
cathedral-length veil.
Her necklace and earrings were
made by the bride herself, including
“something old” beads from her late
grandmother’s necklace. The
“something blue” was the sapphire
stones in her engagement ring and
wedding band. The “something
borrowed” was also the “penny for
the shoe” with pennies borrowed
and glued to the bottom of the
bride’s purple shoes.
The bride also made purple
fiddleheads for bouquets and
boutonnieres.
Matron of honour was Christina
Switzer of St. Marys, sister of the
bride. Bridesmaids were Charlene
Sabourin, sister of the groom, from
Kitchener and Candy Haggitt, Blyth.
The attendants wore long, black
gowns with halter-style necklines
with jewelled broaches.
Best man was Michael, Bromley
of Blyth, cousin of the groom.
Groomsmen were Dave Rosser,
Lucan, brother of the bride and
Darrell McDougall of Baden,
formerly of Blyth. Ushers were Ben
and Jacob Rosser of Denfield,
brothers of the bride.
Men in the wedding party wore
black suits with white shirts, off-
white ties and vests.
Following the wedding the couple
was driven from the church and
around Blyth on a vintage fire truck
driven by Grant Sparling, the bride’s
employer.
A reception was held at Blyth
Community Centre where a buffet
meal was catered by Trinity
Anglican Church, with Blyth Lions
Club operating the bar. There was a
photo booth for reception guests.
The wedding photos were taken at
the couple’s home and at Ball’s
Bridge near Auburn.
Their engagement photos had
been taken at Fanshawe Pioneer
Village including the Denfield
General Store which had once
been owned by the bride’s
grandfather.
The couple journeyed to Scotland
for a two-week wedding trip which
included visits to a different castle
nearly every day, as well as to the
Scottish Highlands and the Isle of
Skye.
Shawn and Lisa are now residing
in Blyth.

Cake can serve as artistic canvas
MS –The multi-tiered cake is a
favourite wedding tradition that’s
often presented at the end of the
night. The happy couple takes a slice
and enjoys the first piece.
In recent years, wedding cakes
have become more of an artistic
centrepiece than just a confectionary
treat. Couples often seek out
renowned wedding cake bakers for a
cake that will amaze the crowd and
complete the theme of the wedding.
The average couple will spend
between $700 to $800 for their
wedding cake. Although many
catering halls or reception sites will
include the wedding cake in a
package deal, many couples choose
to order their cake from a specialty
bakery which creates culinary
masterpieces.
If television trends are any
indication, many people are opting
to spend several hundred to
thousands of dollars on a customized
wedding cake. These fondant and
buttercream creations may be
elaborate in nature, so much so
they’ll likely need to be ordered
several months in advance.
Couples looking for something a
bit different for their upcoming
nuptials, many want to consider
these trends in wedding cakes.
• 3-D accents on the cake, such as
graphic appliques.
• A black-and-white motif that
gives the cake a simplistic, yet
trendy appeal.
• A lot of bold colour in the cake,
instead of just white or ivory.
• Dramatic monograms that can
add class to the cake.
• Painted cakes with edible food
colouring paint that feature beautiful
landscapes or a portrait. A work of
art, they’re both delicious to eat and
fun to admire.
• Cakes that mirror the style of the
wedding gown, including fondant
ruffles and appliques.
Many couples still opt for the
traditional and that is always in
style. Instead of experimenting with
the outside of the cake, couples can
be creative with cake flavour and
fillings. Imagine cutting open the
cake to find red velvet or a chocolate
ganache filling.
