WEDDINGS – HARPER-CORNETT
[Welland Tribune November 27, 1943]
A setting of ferns and pink and white mums formed the background for a quiet ceremony this afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.M. Edington, Wesr Main street, when June Louise, youngest daughter of Captain and Mrs. J.A. Cornett, Montreal, became the bride of Raymond Lennox Harper, son of Mr. and Mrs. C.R. Harper, Riverside Drive. Rev. L.R. Ballantyne officiated.
The bride given in marriage by her brother, W.J. Cornett, Toronto, was lovely in a two-piece wool frock in peplum effect, with inserts of dubonnet chiffon velvet. She carried a colonial bouquet of Joanna Hill roses, white button mums and dubonnet pom-poms. Her only ornament was a single strand of pearls, the gift of the groom.
Her only attendant, Mrs. W.M. Edington, sister of the bride, wore a two-piece dusty rose wool frock and brown accessories. She carried a colonial bouquet of American beauty roses and pink and white mums.
W.M. Edington was groomsman. A reception for the immediate family followed, with Mrs. C.R. Harper receiving in a gold crepe frock with metallic trim. Her accessories were brown and she wore a corsage of gold and violet mums. The bride’s table was tastefully decorated with a hand-painted linen cloth, centred with a three-tier wedding cake, flanked by lighted pink tapers in crystal candlebra.
For travelling, the bride donned a two-piece bottle-green crepe dress under a beige beaver-trimmed coat. Her accessories were brown.
After a short trip to St, Thomas and the Simcoe district, the couple will make their home at 59 Maple avenue.
