Phillips and
Edwards
A pretty wedding quietly
took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Edwards, "Summer
View" farm, Townsend, on 17 May 1921 at 12.30 p.m. The
contracting parties were their daughter, Tiney Mabel, and David
Phillips, son of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Phillips of Townsend.
The bride entered the
drawing room on the arm of her father. She wore a sky blue
messaline dress, with bridal veil and carried a shower bouquet of
roses. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. G. Shaw and took
place under an arch of maple leaves and twin-sister flowers, while a
twin brother, Arthur, supported the groom.
The attendant of the bride
was her sister, Violet. The wedding march was played by Miss
Margaret Phillips and little Lily Edwards acted as flower girl. An
interesting feature of the occasion was the fact that the day was
the 28th wedding anniversary of the bride's parents.
About two dozen guests sat
down to a sumptuous repast. Many and valuable were the gifts from
friends. The gift of the groom to the bridesmaid, pianist and flower
girl were brooches set with sapphire stones, and that of the
groomsman a maple leaf tie pin.
The happy couple with the
best wishes of their friends manifested by confetti and merriment
went to Hagersville to take the 5.30 train to Hamilton, Toronto and
Rynal. May they have a happy life as that suggested by the smiling
sun which graced the occasion.
