WEDDINGS – LYMBURNER-JOSLIN

[Welland Tribune October 15, 1943]

A pretty fall wedding of interest here was that of Betty Mildred Mae Joslin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs Edward Joslin of Smithville, and Pte. William Wray Lymburner, Queen’s York Rangers, son of Mr and Mrs Frank Lymburner of Caistor Centre, at the home of the bride’s parents, with Rev. George H. Young officiating.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, was charming in a white gardenia silk jersey street-length dress with long full puff sleeves, draped at the side. a sweetheart headdress and shoulder-length veil. She carried a colonial bouquet of pastel-toned roses and gladioli. Her only ornament was an Alexandrite stone pendant, a gift of the groom.

Miss Jean Joslin and Miss Marjorie Joslin, sisters of the bride, acted as her attendants, with the former choosing a gold silk jersey street-length dress with matching accessories and wearing a corsage of gold mums, and the latter a brown silk street-length dress matching accessories and a corsage of bronze mums. Miss Shirley Joslin, flower girl, was lovely in a pink silk jersey dress, with matching net jacket and hat. She carried a colonial bouquet of pink and white sweet peas and snapdragons.

Miss Vivian McBay of Welland, pianist, rendered “I Love You Truly” during the signing of the register.
The bridegroom’s attendants were Audrey Lymburner and Lorne Lymburner, both brothers of the groom.

The reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents, at 4.30 p.m. with the bride’s mother receiving in a two-piece British navy suit trimmed with white. The groom’s mother wore a navy blue dress trimmed with white. Both wore corsages of yellow mums.

A tree-tiered wedding cake, surrounded by small pastel colored flowers, centred the bride’s table. The rooms were beautifully decorated with white and pink gladioli, streamers and wedding bells.

The bride chose as her going away costume for the honeymoon to London and points west, an aqua silk jersey dress, matching hat and black and white accessories. Her corsage was of white mums and pink gladioli.

The bride is residing in Welland and the groom returned to his base.
Out- of-town guests were from Grimsby, Dunnville, Beamsville and Welland.
