Her corsage was made:. up of .celery leaves, tomthumb tomatoes and huckleberries. Not to be missed, the . groom's father, Wonetta Holland looked very stately: .in his blue bib overalls,„ red silk shirt and black '_ fedora. His grey moustache and hair added greatly to , his attire. He siiioked .nickel cigars to show his authority. The4bride's mother was most charming in a beige, below-the-knee,.figured dress with n1atchingSun hat, white glasses and black shoes and purse. Her eorsage was white roses. Pearl earrings and a pearl necklace, a gift from the bride's father, com- pleted her outfit. The ner- vous mother smoked her pipe during the ceremony. By the way, Alfred Goldsworthy was the bride's mother. The ushers had a busy time ushering this part of the wedding party to their respective seats. Then then ushered Jean, Ken, Doug and Betty Ann (Wa rren and Marie's children) to seats of honour behind the above honoured- guests. The two wandering minstrels made their appearance` playing tambourines and triangle. Florence Miller and JoAnn Walker were the musicians. Florence was dressed in white tights with green stripe, fringed green vest and white satin shirt. Her blonde hairpiece was ac- cented With • black ostrich plumes and silver sequins. Her Hawaiian guitar was slung over her back. Jo Ann looked gorgeous in her long black jacket„black pants ac- cented by a bright green - shirt and big red bow tie. She wore a huge straw hat adorn- ed with cattails, teasels, bur- docks and a partridge perch- ed on the top. Her workhoots were a little curnbersome and she had some difficulty with the pedals of the piano. During the time the hnnoared guests were being seated,,the musicians played of their ka?nd. . 1.rttle soft -soled • slippers and blue rimmed • glasses ,added a finishing touch to die Norte be outdone,the groom, Isabel Gibson wore black pants with a narrow satin pin -stripe, swallow- tailed coat, pure white silk shirt, black derby hat and orange zinnia boutonniere. The groom looked a little pale after the ceremony as he had fainted twice. . The matron of honour, Charlie Merrill' was glamorous wearing an orange and brown printed skirt, white blouse trimmed with the same material as the skirt and ruffled around the neck down the front: A cumberbund of white and silver accented the costume. Her matching • hat was adorned with large orange silk flowers. Her brunette curls flowed around her shoulders. The first bridesmaid, Clark Ball, wore a robin egg blue floor length gown of crepe -de -Chine. A red fox furpiece was worn off one shoulder. , Her imported green and black beach hat was tied under her chin. Her blonde -streaked curls and beige pantyhose added greatly to her appearance. The second bridesmaid was very bashful in her flowered formal gown with white stole. She wore a gorgeous blue nylon hat, many strings of precious gems around her neck with bracelets to match. To com- plement her reit and white dangling earrings, she wore red -rimmed eyeglasses. This bouncing beauty was none other than Bill Gibb- ings. The charming freckle: faced flowergirl from Blyth wore a triple sheer yellow negligee with matching orange pantaloons. Her hat was French straw adorned with tiny rosebuds and tied with an organdy sash under the chin. Italian ivory jewels and shoes in white elkskin and three inch high heels completed her outfit. This little darling had a birthday this very evening and everyone sang the birthday song to her. To let you in on the secret, the flowergirl was Richard Snell. The bridal attendants all carried beautiful multi -colored Lissue paper flowers while the flowergirl carried hers in en -lever] yuan basket The double -r ri cerPm+my could not have been carried out without the 'dear little ringbearer. He was so adorable in his short plaid pants, plaid jacket and white ruffledshirt with bow at the neck. The little fellow's knees knocked a few times during the.ceremony but we alt agree that Arnold (Dale. can wear short pants to any event uevent in the future. Last; but ' not least, - our gorgeous bride. came up, the red carpet on the arm of her father. She was glamorous beyond words in her white nylon sheer gown accented with guipire :lace . veil. Tiny pink daisies clustered in the veil and pearls enhanced the wedding dress. A black shawl was draped around her slim young shoulders. Beautiful ruby earrings and. ruby necklace, glfts4 frftm-. her father, complemented' her outfit. Although a little out of practice, Ivan Hoggart made a terrific bride. He had a problem getting, down low enough to kiss his groom but the best man came to his assistance and very quickly provided a box for the groom to stand upon. We are all happy Ivan can do cement* workand will be able to repair this box for future use. The bride's father looked very self-satisfied and happy while taking his daughter to the altar. He carried a shotgun for safety precau- tions and thrice during the ceremony had to use it make the bride and groom carry the "deal” through. He was much admired in his grey pants and blue and white pin- striped coat. His moustache and sideburns were groomed to perfection. He chose to wear a red dahlia on his lapel. Rita Flynn was the adorable father. The preacher demanded his fee before he would pronounce the couple man and wife. This caused the groom to pass the hat around as he had changed his pants and was without money. After the ceremony the "gang" retired 'singing, "There'll Be A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight". Alvin Betties was master of ceremonies for this affair and it kept him busy trying to keep the event running smoothly.
