June Wedding At Wellandport
[Welland Port Colborne Evening Tribune, Tuesday, June 6, 1944]
Boyle, June 6-A pretty early summer wedding was held in Wellandport on Thursday, June 1st when Francis Jean Ulman of St Catharines, the daughter of Mr and Mrs Henry Ulman of Wellandport was united in marriage to James Edward Crawford of Niagara-on-the Lake. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride’s parents, with Rev. G.J. Comfort,B.A.,B.D.,D.D., United church minister at Dunnville and great-uncle of bride, officiating.
Given in marriage by her father, the bride was charming in a streetlength dress of white chiffon, fashioned with a round neck-line and interwoven silver yoke. The fitted waistline fell into a full skirt and her white shoulder-length veil was fastened with a headdress of white ribbon rosettes. She carried a bouquet of pink snapdragons and white and pink carnations.
The maid of honor, Miss Betty Scott of St Catharines, wore yellow silk crepe, street-length style, made on fitted lines. Her headdress was similar to that of the bride and she carried a bouquet of bronze snapdragons and bouvardia; Alex Crawford of Niagara Falls, brother of the groom, was best man and the bride’s sister, Miss Audrey Ulman played the wedding music.
After the ceremony a reception for the immediate families was held. The bride’s table, laid with a lace cloth, was centred with the three-tiered wedding cake, flanked by red roses in silver baskets and pink candles in silver candelabra.
Later the couple left for a short motor trip. For travelling the bride wore a dress of pale orchid with coat in a deeper orchid shade, and white accessories. On their return Mr and Mrs Crawford will reside in St Catharines.
Out of town guests were present from Elco, St Catharines, Niagara Falls, Dunnville and Queenston.
