Local Couple Wed Saturday

[Welland Port Colborne Evening Tribune, Tuesday June 6, 1944]

Allanburg June 6- A wedding of interest to this community took place Saturday afternoon at Christ Church, Niagara Falls, when Ruth Eileen, daughter of Alex Waring of Fonthill was united in marriage to Lorne Edward Stevens, youngest son of Mrs A. and the late Arthur Stevens of Allanburg. The Rev G.B. Gordon officiated.

The bride wore a street-length gown of white net over satin, made with a full skirt, V-neck and long sleeves with hand ruffle. A halo of net with a shoulder length veil and a corsage of pink and white roses completed her outfit.

Miss Dorothy Marie Stevens, sister of the groom, was the bridesmaid and wore a gown of mauve net over satin, made on the same lines as the bride’s dress. She chose a corsage of carnations and lily-of-the valley and white accessories, Adam Barron of Port Robinson, was groomsman.

Following the ceremony, a reception was held at Uncle Sam’s restaurant, Niagara Falls for 14 guests. The bride’s table was centred with a two-tier wedding cake and summer flowers adorned the dining  room. The young couple will reside in Fonthill.
