Burgess-Andrews

The home of Mr. and Mrs. James Andrews, Tyrrell, was the scene of a pretty wedding on New Year's Day, when their only daughter, Mary,  married James Lloyd, only son of Mr. and Mrs. James Burgess of Villa Nova. The ceremony was conducted by the Rev. W. G. Shaw.

The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a pretty frock of white georgette with pearl trimmings. She carried a shower bouquet of pink carnations and narcissus. Miss Nellie Jamieson played Mendelssohn's wedding march as the bridal party entered the drawing room and stood under an arch of evergreen and wedding bells.

A wedding dinner was served after the ceremony. The many lovely gifts included a couple of checks. The groom's gift to the bride was a silver tea set and to the organist, a broach. 

Mr. and Mrs. Burgess left by train for western points, the bride travelling in grey satin and georgette, grey shoes, seal coat with opossum trimmings and black hat. On their return they will reside on the groom's farm at Viva Nova.

Burgess-Andrews

A very pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Andrews at Tyrrell, on New Years Day, when their only daughter, Mary J., became the bride of James Lloyd Burgess.

Precisely at high noon to the strains of the "Bridal Chorus," played by Miss Nellie Jamieson, the groom took his place beneath an arch of beautifully decorated evergreens. The bride entered leaning on the arm of her father and took her place beside the groom. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. G. Shaw.

The bride was prettily gowned in ivory satin with an overdress of georgette, beautifully trimmed with pearls. Her bridal veil was wreathed with narcissus blossoms, and she carried a beautiful bouquet of pink carnations and white narcissus. The groom's gift to the bride was a silver tea set and to the pianist an emerald pin.

After congratulations and a wedding dinner, which was partaken of by the immediate relatives and friends of the contracting parties, the happy couple motored to Waterford, where amid cheers and confetti they took to 3.45 train for St. Thomas and Detroit. The bride travelled in a dress of taupe satin and georgette with black seal coat with sable collar and cuffs, and a black velvet hat with ostrich tips and faced in French pink. The many beautiful gifts showed the esteem in which the bride and groom are held by their many friends. Upon their return they will reside at the home of the groom, Sunny Brac, Villa Nova.
