On
the 7th of June the residence of Mr. Henry Rogers, Bealton, was the
scene of a happy gathering of one hundred and fifty invited guests,
the occasion being the marriage of his eldest daughter, Evy, to Mr.
Edward Hunter, all of Townsend.
The ceremony was
performed at 3 o'clock by the Rev. S. G. Harris under an arch of
evergreen decorated with flowers.
The bride looked
charming in a white silk gown trimmed with pearls and lace, with talle
[sic] covering the entire dress, draped with orange blossoms. She carried in
her hand a shief [sic] of white carnations.
Her sister, Miss
Mina Rogers, acted as bridesmaid and was dressed most becomingly in a
gown of pink Lansdowne with lace and pearl trimmings and carrying in
her hand a shief [sic] of pink carnations.
The groom was
ably supported by his brother, Mr. Thos. Hunter. Miss Grace Marshall
of Hamilton, played the wedding march, and Miss Tena Hunter and Miss
Ethel Johnston acted as reception maids.
After the
ceremony the young couple received the congratulations of their many
friends.
The presents were
exceptionally costly and handsome, including a gold watch and chain, a
gift of the groom to the bride, and a gold ring to the bridesmaid.
After an
elaborate dinner was served on the lawn, the happy couple left for
Brantford, Buffalo and points east, amid a shower of rice and the good
wishes of all.
