A
Beautiful Home Wedding
of well-known Simcoe girl
A very pretty home wedding
took place yesterday afternoon at 2.30 at the home of Mr. Robert
Gunton, police magistrate, Simcoe, and Mrs. Gunton, when their
eldest daughter, Miss Annie Elizabeth Gunton, was united in marriage
to Mr. Alanson Cornelius Avery, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Avery, 8
Victoria Street, Brantford.
Mr. Ross R. Deagle of Queen's
University, Kingston, acted as groomsman, while the bridesmaid was
Miss Rhea Row of Woodhouse.
The house was very prettily
decorated with flowers. The ceremony was performed before a bank of
white chrysanthemums and the dining room was decorated with gold and
white chrysanthemums.
The bride entered [on] the
arm of her father to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march,
played by Mrs. (Dr.) John Gunton, sister-in-law of the bride.
The bride looked very pretty
in a gown of white georgette over white silk, with a vail, mantilla
style, handsomely embroidered with silk and peoples, and caught up
with orange blossoms, and white heather. She carried a shower
bouquet of Ophelia roses and baby chrysanthemums.
The bridesmaid wore apricot
crepe de chine and a black picture hat, and carried a sheaf of
sunburst roses.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. H. C. Newcombe, B.A., assisted by the Rev. A. J. Loveday of
Boston, cousin of the bride.
While the marriage register
was being signed, Mrs. Thomas [Kivell] of Lynden, sister of the
bridegroom, sang very beautifully, "All Joy Be Thine."
After the ceremony, a buffet
lunch was served, and the happy couple left amid showers of
confetti, by the 5.07 car on the L. E. and N. Railway for Chicago
and points west. The bride travelled in a smart brown dress with a
wrap coat of reindeer brown satin broadcloth with sable, with a hot
of bisque and brown duvetyn to match.
On their return they will
reside at 90 Kent Street.
Guests to the number of about
70 were present from Brantford, Guelph, Galt, Hespeler, Paris,
Strathroy, Boston, Kingston London, Toronto and Buffalo, as well as
from Simcoe and the county.
The bride was the recipient
of a large number of very beautiful and useful presents, which were
on display.
The Reformer joins with a
host of friends in wishing the happy couple a long life and
happiness.
