BESWICK-UNGAR – WEDDING

[Welland Tribune January 2, 1945]

Morgan Memorial chapel, Queen’s University, Kingston, was the scene of a lovely double-ring wedding at 10.45 a.m. Friday, December 28, when Rev. J.F. Dungman of Napanee, united in marriage Marjorie Pearl, youngest daughter of Mr. And Mrs J.G. Unger, Napanee, and Philip James Beswick, B.Sc, son of Mr. And Mrs W. Beswick, Port Colborne. Miss Lenore Black of Kingston played the wedding music and during the signing of the register, Mrs. J.F. Dingman sang “I Love You Truly.”

The bride, given in marriage by her brother, Edison B. Ungar, was charming in a street length dress of powder blue needle point crepe, fashioned with a sweetheart neckline and three-quarter length sleeves. A matching headdress of blue ostrich feathers held her shoulderlength veil. She carried a bouquet of Bettertime roses.

Miss Betty Wilson of Ottawa attended the bride. She chose a dress of figured turquoise silk crepe with brown accessories and a corsage of red roses.

Murray MacLean, B.Sc., of Welland was best man.

A wedding breakfast was served with the bride’s mother receiving. Mrs. Unger wore a moss green two-piece needlepoint crepe dress, brown accessories and a corsage of Talisman roses. The bride’s sister Mrs O.Z. Younghusband, Kingston, also received. She chose a yellow figured silk jersey, frock with black accessories and a corsage of yellow roses.

For travelling to the Laurentians the bride donned a casual paddy green wool dress with brown velvet trim, a muskrat coat and brown accessories. Her corsage was Talisman roses.

Out-Of-Town guests attended from Port Colborne, Ottawa and Napanee.
