A very interesting event took
place at the home of Mrs. Barron, Fairground, on Wednesday, 7 Jan 1920,
when her youngest daughter, Lottie M., was united in marriage to Mr.
Arthur B. Mitchener of Unity, Sask.
Promptly at 1 o'clock to the
strains of Lohengrin's wedding march, played by
Mrs. C. Mitchener, the bridal party took their places beneath an arch of
evergreens, the ceremony being performed by
Rev. Mr. Remington of Courtland, assisted by Rev. Mr. Falkingham.
The bride was prettily gowned in
white satin and georgette, with bridal veil and orange blossoms. She
carried a bouquet of white roses.
Miss Ethel Walker of Tillsonburg
who acted as bridesmaid, was becomingly attired in white taffeta and
georgette and carried pink roses. Mr. Harry Mitchener, cousin of the
groom, ably performed the duties of best man.
After the usual congratulations
the guests proceeded to the dining room where a dainty repast was
partaken of [sic].
The bride was the recipient of
many beautiful presents, the groom's gift to the bride being a pearl
sunburst, to the bridesmaid a pearl broach and to the
groomsman a tie-pin.
Mr. and Mrs. Mitchener left on
the evening train for a short trip before leaving for their home in the
west.
