The bride looked charming in a pale blue costume with raccoon furs and hat to match and was assisted by her sister Ellie, while Mr. J.A. Hannon performed the duties of best man. After the nuptial knot had been tied, the wedding party, who included only the immediate relatives, owing to recent bereavements in both families, proceeded to the home of the bride's parents where a most elaborate spread awaited them. After justice had been done to the numerous delicacies the health of the bride was proposed by Mr. J.A. Hannon to which on the bride's behalf the groom very suitably responded. Short congratulatory speeches were made by Messrs. P.J. Lewis, J.A. Veitch, J.J. Carroll, J.J. Maloney, and J. Crawley, after which the happy couple left for their future home Maloney's Square. The esteem in which the young bride is held was testified by the numerous and costly presents received. The groom who is also a very popular Holyroodian holds the position of engineer with the A.N.D. Co. Grand Falls. The groom's present to the bride was in the form of a cheque, while to the bridesmaid and best man gold signet ring, and gold cuff links, respectively. To the newly wedded couple we tender our sincerest wishes for abundant happiness through life.
