Her only attendant was her sister, Mrs. Clifford Kramer of Fingal, who wore a becoming rose wool dress with black accessories and corsage of pink and white mums.

The groom was attended by his brother-in-law, Frank Beresford, of St. Catharines.

Following the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride for the immediate relatives. Mrs. Horton, mother of the bride, received the guests in a black crepe dress with embroidered bodice and assisted by Mrs. Edmondson, mother of the groom, who wore a black crepe dress with white trim. Both wore corsages of roses and baby mums.

A buffet luncheon was served to the guests by Miss Jean Horton, assisted by the bride’s sister, Eileen Horton. The bride’s table was lovely with a damask cloth, centred with t three-tiered wedding cake flanked with tall silver tapers in crystal holders.

Later the happy couple left on a brief honeymoon after which they will be at home to their friends at 92 McNaughton road, Welland.
