Young-Duffin
A very pretty wedding took place
in Crumlin, Ont., on Wednesday, 15 Jun 1921, at the home of the
bride's parents, when Miss Hazel Louise Duffin, only daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Benjamin Duffin, was united in marriage to Mr. Winfred
Lavell Young of London, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert E. Young
of Wilsonville. The ceremony was performed before a bank of ferns,
sweet peas and peonies, Rev. Mr. Thompson officiating.
Promptly at four o'clock the
bride, looking very charming in a wedding gown of white crepe de
chene and carrying a shower bouquet of Ophelia roses and orange
blossoms entered the drawing room leaning on the arm of her father,
to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march, rendered by Mr.
Maunsell Young, brother of the groom. Miss Mildred Young, sister of
the groom, who made a dainty bridesmaid, was becomingly gowned
in white and pink and carried a bouquet of pink roses. The groom was
attended by Mr. Charles Duffin, brother of the bride.
After the ceremony and
signing of the register the guests, numbering about 40, repaired to
the dining room, where a dainty wedding breakfast was served. The
groom's gift to the bride was a beautiful L'Oient pearl necklace, to
the bridesmaid a pearl crescent brooch, to the groomsman a pearl tie
pin and to the pianist gold cuff links.
The wedding gifts were
numerous and beautiful including several checks, also a beautiful
reading lamp presented by the members of the Crumlin church. Mr. and
Mrs. Young motored to Woodstock where they took the 8.19 train for
Detroit, the bride travelling in a navy blue serge suit with hat to
match. Upon their return Mr. and Mrs. Young will reside at 26
Beattie Ave., London, Ont.
