Nelles-Williamson
On 18 Apr 1921, at high
noon, one of the most charming weddings of the year took place at
St. Paul's Church in Simcoe, when Marjorie, younger daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Geo. Williamson, became the bride of Douglas Nelles,
youngest son of Mr. Nelles and the late T. R. Nelles.
At the appointed time, the
bride, on the arm of her father, came up the aisle to the strains of
the wedding march looking radiantly pretty and beautifully gowned in
French grey crepe de chine with piquant bunches of humming-bird blue
and chic hat to match, carrying a magnificent armful of Columbia
roses. Her only ornament was an exquisite string of pearls, the gift
of the groom.
The church was artistically
decorated with roses, marguerites and ferns. Rev. Duncan E Foster
performed the ceremony in the presence of the immediate families and
old friends and a few out-of-town relatives.
The post nuptial reception
was held at Strathmore, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Innes' residence. The
latter is a sister of the groom, when the bride and groom received,
assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Williamson and Mrs. Nelles. The rooms were
filled with pink snapdragon and roses, making a fitting background
for the wedding party.
After the conclusion of the
reception, which was delightfully informal in character, Mr. and
Mrs. Douglas Nelles, the latter attired in a well-cut navy blue suit
and smart navy blue hat, left for a trip to New York and Atlantic
City.
