Weddings: Perenack–Billyard

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

First Baptist church was the scene of a pretty wedding Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, when Elsie Margaret, daughter of Mr and Mrs W.H. Billyard, 270 Bishop Road, became the bride of Joseph Perenack, son of Mr and Mrs Paul Perenack, 270 Burgar Street. Rev S.R. Weaver performed the ceremony.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride was charming in a white long-sleeved sheer frock with inserted sides of lace and buttoned down the back. A long lace veil was held to her head with a cluster of flowers. Miss Ethel Billyard was her sister’s attendant, wearing a blue net dress with a peplum effect with a sweetheart neckline, She wore a Dutch-cap headdress and carried a cascade of pink roses and sweetpeas.

Miss Mary Stillman was organist and James Marando was groomsman.

A reception was held at 4 o’clock at the Marine restaurant. The bride’s mother received wearing a blue sheer street length frock and a corsage of pink roses. She was assisted by the mother of the bridegroom, who also wore blue sheer with a corsage of pink roses.

The bride’s table was prettily decorated with pink carnations and centred with a three-tier wedding cake.

For travelling to Bangor Lodge, Muskoka, for their honeymoon, Mrs Perenack chose a black crepe dress with black accessories under a black chesterfield coat.

On their return, Mr and Mrs Perenack will reside at 33 Maple Avenue.
