SCADALLARO-INGRAO

[Welland-Port Colborne Evening Tribune. 13 January 1945]

Rose Ann Ingrao, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo Ingrao, Park street, became the bride Wednesday in St. Mary’s church, of Sante Scadallaro, son of Mr. and Mrs. Scadallaro of Timmins. Rev. A. McMahon performed the ceremony.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride was lovely in a gown of ivory brocaded lace fashioned with a sweetheart neckline, with long sleeves ending in a point over the wrists and a long trim. She wore a Queen Anne headdress covered with simulated pearls. The bridal bouquet consisted of red roses and white mums.

Miss Mary Capoli, maid of honor, was gowned in yellow tulle with a blue Queen Anne headdress trimmed with pink for-get-me nots. She carried yellow roses.

The bridesmaids, Misses Mary Barblinardo, Helen Ingrao, Angela Fazzarli and Verna Cipolli wore gowns of pink and blue chiffon fashioned similarly to that of the maid of honor. They carried colonial bouquets of pink and white carnations.

Miss Stella O’Brien presided at the organ and Mrs. Kathleen Repar sang “Ave Maria” during the signing of the registrar.

Anthony Ingrao, brother of the bride, was the best man. Salvator Ingrao, Mickel Mendola, Franklin Kafun and James Calarco were ushers.

A reception followed the ceremony at the house of the bride’s parents where the rooms were decorated with pink and white streamers and white bells, Mrs. Ingrao received the guests wearing a blue street length frock and a corsage of yellow roses. The bride’s table was decorated with pink and white carnations and centred with a four-tier wedding cake. White mums and roses decorated the guests’ tables.

For travelling to Niagara Falls, Toronto, and Sarnia donned a princess styled lime green frock, with matching bag and Dutch hat, under her muskrat coat.

The happy couple’s future residence will be 13 Park street.

Guests were present from Toronto, Timmins, Rochester, N.Y., and the east coast.
