WEDDINGS – MASSEY-BROWN
[Welland Tribune March 4, 1947]
The marriage of Pearl Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Brown, to Alvin Massey, son of Mr. and Mrs Fred Massey, was solemnized by the Rev. George H. Knighton in Central United church, Port Colborne. The church was arranged with baskets of daffodils and ferns and Reginald Steeves was at the organ. During the signing of the registry Miss Edith Bowman of Welland sang Sanderson’s “Until.”
Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a lovely gown of white satin, the skirt falling into a graceful train. The bodice was made with a nylon lace yoke and long sleeves tapering to points. Her veil, arranged with a coronet was of illusion and fell to the floor. She carried a bouquet of red roses and wore a necklace of pearls. Her only attendant, Miss Julia Thomas, wore a gown of blue net, the skirt made in two tiers. Taffeta flowers were appliqued at the neckline. She wore a necklace, the gift of the bride and carried an arm bouquet of roses.
The groom was attended by Howard Niece and the ushers were Max Hill and Gordon Olm.
Following the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents for 60 guests. Receiving with the bridal party, the bride’s mother wore a gown of blue crepe, embroidered in sequins, a matching hat and a corsage of gardenias. Mrs Massey, who also received, chose a black crepe gown with sequin trimming and matching hat and she, too, wore a corsage of gardenias.
The bride’s table was arranged with the wedding cake flanked with tall pink tapers in crystal holders.
For travelling the bride donned a blue wool suit trimmed with white fox fur over which she wore a muskrat coat. Matching accessories and a corsage of roses completed her costume.
Mr. and Mrs. Massey will reside on McCain street Humberstone.
