Wedding
Bells
Elston-Spain
A very pretty wedding was
solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Spain of Port Dover, 8
Aug 1910, when their eldest daughter, Emily Matilda, was united in
holy matrimony to Mr. Richard S. Elston of Flint. The Rev. Canon
Hicks, M.A. of Simcoe, preformed the ceremony, assisted by Rev.
Mr. Vair.
Promptly at 2:30 the bride
entered the parlor to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march
played by Miss May Quanbury. The bride looked charming in white
mull and carried an ivory prayer book. She was attended by her
sister, Miss Kate Spain, who was attired in mauve mull and carried
roses. Mr. Fred Powell of Fort William supported the groom.
The groom's gift to the
bride was a handsome gold watch and fob; to the bridesmaid a pearl
broach, and to the best man pearl cuff links. After the ceremony,
the guests, numbering about 50, proceeded to the dining room where
a sumptuous repast was served. The young couple were the
recipients of many useful gifts, showing the high esteem in which
they were held.
Mr. and Mrs. Elston left
on the five o'clock train for Buffalo en route to Flint where they
will reside.
