Hall-Robinson
"Sunnymeade,"
the beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. Austin Robinson, Bealton,
was the scene of a very pretty wedding Saturday, 4 Sep 1920, when
their second daughter, Violet Elnore, was united in marriage to
Leroy N. Hall, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Hall, Rockford.
The house was beautifully
decorated with gladioli, asters, dahlias and sweet peas. The
ceremony was performed immediately in front of a bank of ferns
with baskets of asters on either side, and underneath an arch of
clematis, by Rev. R. H. Rodgers of Oakland.
The bride, leaning on the
arm of her father, entered the parlor through an aisle of flowers,
to the strains of Mandelsohn's wedding march, played by Miss
Maizize Mandeville, cousin of the bride.
The bride look charming in
a gown of white taffeta and georgette with pearl trimming. Her
long telle veil was arranged in juliet cap effect, with a wreath
of orange blossoms, and she carried a shower bouquet of sweetheart
roses and lilies of the valley.
The bridesmaid was Miss
Olive McKnight of Teeterville, who was dressed in orchid crepe de
chine and carried a bouquet of sunset roses. Little Miss Melba
Hall, neice of the groom, made a sweet little flower girl,
carrying a basket of sweet peas and scattering them in the pathway
of the bride.
Ellis Erwin of Tyrrell
ably supported the groom. Miss Margaret Arnold and Miss Helen
Robinson acted as reception maids. During the signing of the
register Miss Evelyn Robinson, sister of the bride, sang very
sweetly
"O Promise Me."
At the conclusion of the
ceremony, the wedding luncheon was served to about 50 guests, six
young friends of the bridal couple acting as waiters.
The groom's gift to the
bride was a substantial cheque; to the bridesmaid, pianist and
soloist, gold pins,; to the flower girl a gold locket, and to the
best man a pearl tie pin.
Mr. and Mrs. Hall, amid
showers of rice and confetti, took the train at Brantford, later
leaving for a trip down the St. Lawrence River, the bride
travelling in a smart suit of navy blue, with blue satin hat and
white furs.
On their return they will
be at home to their friends at the groom's farm near Rockford.
