Wedding [with photo of bride and groom].

Our Lady of Sorrows Church in South Orange, New Jersey was the scene on June 26 of a very pretty marriage. Mary Margaret Adrian, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Adrian of Maplewood, New Jersey became the bride of John James Stapleton, the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Benedict Stapleton of Grand Falls, Newfoundland. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Frank O'Brien, a life long friend of the groom, who flew in especially for the occasion from Badger, Newfoundland. The bride looked charming as she entered the church on the arm of her father. Her floor length white chiffon gown had a high neckline and long Victorian sleeves. It was trimmed with small pink flowers around the wrist and down the front. The flowers the bride carried were baby roses to match those on her dress. Miss Rita Maggio, the Maid of Honor wore a pink and blue floral gown also with a high neckline and long sleeves. She carried a bouquet of various colored daisies. Dr. Edward Finnegan, a close friend of the groom, was the best man. The ushers included Lawrence Fischer of White Plains, New York, and Allan Stapleton, brother of the groom, from London, Ontario. The bride's mother wore a pink chiffon and white lace ensemble. Her corsage was made of white orchids. The groom's mother wore a peach crepe dress with white accessories. Her flowers were also white orchids. The liturgy was planned by Mary and John along with Father Frank. Mary and John each read one of the readings and the father of the groom read the gospel. Rev. Nicholas Connolly, S.J. acted as Lector for the ceremony and also provided the music during the Mass by singing and playing the guitar. Allan Stapleton read the petitions and Harold Stapleton along with Sister Jan Clark, SSND assisted Father Frank in distributing communion. At the Kiss of Peace of the Mass the bride and groom came down from the altar and offered the kiss of peace to their parents. The only toast of the evening was to the bride and groom and was eloquently proposed by Dr. Ed Finnegan and responded to by the groom. The reception was held at the Friar Tuck Inn in Cedar Cove, New Jersey. About 80 guests attended. Out of town guests included the groom's parents Mr. and Mrs. Benedict Stapleton from Grand Falls, Newfoundland; Miss Marie Warr Stapleton from London, Ontario; Harold Stapleton from St. John's,Newfoundland; Rev.
