A M1!'1Y
Bridal show in
Grand Bend Thursday
GRAND BEND - "It was a love-
ly wedding - well, except that the
minister had a coughing fit and
knocked over the candles, and then
the ring bearer tripped over the vid-
eo camera. And at the reception
hall, the air conditioner kept blow-
ing fuses, so dinner was an hour
late and we danced in candlelight.
But it was a lovely wedding."
Planning your wedding or anni-
versary celebration this summer? If
you want to avoid any disasters,
such as this, you'd better come to a
special "Bridal and Anniversary
Evening", to be held this Thursday
evening at Oakwood Inn, Grand
Bend. Several Grand Bend and area
businesses have organized the show
to help brides plan their weddings.
Photographer Victor Alderson,
who recently moved his studio to
his home at RR 2, Grand Bend,
planned the show.
"We're covering all aspects of
weddings and anniversaries - flow-
ers, jewellery, wedding cakes, li-
mos, invitations, disc jockey, ice
sculptures, make-up artist, dresses,
tuxes, shoes, even a travel agent to
plan the honeymoon. And for after
the wedding, there are real estate
and insurance agents, furniture, chi-
na, interior decorating, - everything
that a couple just starting out would
need," Alderson says.
This is the first bridal show to be
held in recent years in Grand,Bend.
Alderson says he hopes it will be-
come an annual event. There are 17
different exhibitors lined up, and a
bridal fashion show has been
planned. The show will include bri-
dal gowns, bridesmaids dresses,
flower girl dresses and tuxedos.
As photographers, Alderson, and
his wife, Mary, attend about 30
weddings a year. Mary has com-
piled a list of some of the funny
things that happen at a wedding,
which she will talk about during a
short "These ngs can be funny as
long as they aren't happening to
you," Victor explains. For example,
they were at one wedding, where
the groom's mother didn't want to
litter the church yard with confetti -
so she threw cracked corn, figuring
the birds would eventually eat it.
What she didn't count on was all
the dust which collected on the
groom's black tux, and the groom's
displeasure.
The show is being held at Oak-
wood Inn, Thursday, February 28,
7:00 to 9:30 p.m. Each exhibitor is
donating a door prize, and draws
will be held throughout the eve-
ning. There is no admission charge
and everyone is welcome.
Sunshine and Busy Buddies
seniors groups meet
LUCAN - The Sunshine and
Busy Buddies met last Thursday.
Harry Noels gave a report from

March 19.
Noels read the list of games, and
seniors will be starting to work on
each individual game. Contestants
will be chosen.
Committee for the coffee hour
will include Jean Miller and Elnora
Reycraft.
Bingo was played after the meet-
ing, and the members attended a
Hobo Supper sponsored by the Boy
Scouts.
Bingo prizes went to Florence
Hodgins, Jean Miller, Wilma Hes-
sel, Chris Hall, Pat Davis and Chris
Hessel.
