Wedding Bells!
Gower Street United Church was the scene of a pretty wedding last evening when Ruby Belinda, daughter of Mrs. and the late Edward Field, became the bride of Rev. Reginald Norman Rowsell, B.A., the ceremony being performed by Rev. D. K. Burns, B.A., Ph.D. The bride, who was attired in a dainty gown of white satin with train, and carried a bouquet of June roses, carnations, baby's breath and asparagus fern, was attended by Miss Eleanor Maddock and her sister Lorna who wore dresses of opera blue and lemon organza with matching head-dress, and whose bouquets consisted of June roses and sweet peas. The groomsman was Rev. C. E. Burke, B.A., a classmate at college, and now Y.M.C.A. supervisor in the Royal Canadian Navy. The father-giver was Mr. B.R. Taylor, cousin of the bride and Mr. A. Wiseman of Little Bay Islands ushered. The bride's mother wore black and rose with corsage of carnations and sweet peas. During the signing of the register Mrs. W.A. Dawe, sister of the bride, sang "I'll Walk With You" with Mrs. F. Wylie at the organ. Following the ceremony, the wedding party drove to Woodstock where supper was served and the usual toasts duly and hearily honoured. The bride and groom leave by this afternoon's express for Corner Brook on a visit to the latter's parents, before taking up residence at Bell Island, where the groom is pastor of the United Church.
