MARGUERITE
WEDDING.
Tillsonburg Observer
-- On Wednesday, July 17th, at 12.30 p.m., at the residence of the
bride's parents, Chief and Mrs. Pow, Harvey St., the marriage of
their daughter, Majory [sic], to Colon J. Cunningham,
druggist, of Waterford, was solemnized.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. S. Cunningham, father of the groom, assisted by the Rev. F.
C. Elliott, both of Waterford, those present being the immediate
friends and relatives of the contracting parties.
The wedding party took their
places under a beautiful horseshoe of marguerites, back of which was
banked a profusion of luxuriant plants and ferns. The wedding march
was played by Miss Nellie Pitt of Hamilton.
The bride wore a handsome
gown of pink silk, trimmed with accordion plaiting, and an over
dress of white tucked chiffon, and carried a boquet of white roses.
She was attended by her
sister, Miss Belle Pow, who was attired in a gown of blue silk
trimmed with accordion plaiting and Battenburg lace, and carried a
boquet of pink roses.
The groom was supported by
Dr. Jas. Gray of St. Catharines. Little Miss Tena Pitt was maid of
honor and carried the ring in a basket of flowers.
After the ceremony a dainty
wedding breakfast was served in the dining room. The dining room
decorations were of white and green, the table being festooned with
fine green vines mingled with marguerites.
The bride was the recipient
of many rich presents, among them being valuable pieces of china and
silverware.
Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham left
on the M.C.R., at 3 o'clock for Niagara-on-the-Lake, and will take a
trip down the St. Lawrence before their return to Waterford, whose a
cosy home is in readiness for them.
The bride's going-away
costume was a tailor-made gown of grey cloth with white silk waist
and white felt hat trimmed with a Dresden scarf.
Among the guests from a
distance who attended the wedding were:
Rev. S. and Mrs. Cunningham, parents of the groom, the Misses Cassie
and Sabie Cunningham, Mr. Delos Cunningham and Rev. F. C. and Mrs.
Elliott of Waterford;
Mr. and Mrs. Pitt and Misses Nellie and Tena Pitt and F. C. Binkley
of Hamilton;
and Dr. Jas. Gray of St. Catharines.
The bride, who is one of
Tillsonburg's most esteemed young ladies, had charge of the
millinery department in M. H. Cook's store in Waterford the past
year. She is well known in town and has many friends and
acquaintances who will wish her and her husband much happiness and
prosperity.
