LINDSAY – JOHNSON – MIDDLETON, Oct 23 – A wedding of wide interest to many friends throughout Nova Scotia and New Brunswick was solemnized at 9 a.m. Tuesday, oct. 13, at Holy Trinity Church, Middleton, when Rev. T. R. B. Anderson, rector, united in marriage, Orael Madonna, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Johnson, Nictaux Falls, and John Vail, only son of Mrs. Alex H. Lindsay and the late Mr. Lindsay of Saint John, N. B. The double ring ceremony was used. The church was decorated with assorted mums, fern and autumn leaves. Mrs. Colin Rowe was soloist. To the strains of the processional from Lohengrin’s wedding march, played by Miss Muriel Ritcey, the bride entered the church on the arm of her father, by whom she was given in marriage. Her wedding gown was of embroidered white satin, made on princess lines with a full sweeping skirt. The bodice was shirred at the front, a sweetheart neckline with tiny buttons extending to the waist-line at the back and long sleeves tapering to a point at the wrists. Her veil of English silk bridal net was embroidered with satin in the corners and around the edges and was held in place by a coronet of lilies-of-the-valley. Her only ornament was a gold locket which belonged to the groom’s grandmother. She carried a cascade bouquet of red roses, white bouvardia and fern with a bow of white satin and gold, matching her golden slippers. The bride was attended by Miss Virginia Smith, of New Glasgow, as her maid of honor. Little Patricia Johnson, youngest sister of the bride, was flower-girl, and Donald Johnson, the bride’s brother was best man. Mrs. Milton Uhlam, Torbrook, and Mrs. Leslie Martyn, Nictaux Falls, sisters of the bride were the ushers. After the ceremony, a buffet wedding breakfast was served to the bridal party and guests at the bride’s home. Mrs. H. F. East poured, while the ushers served the guests. The happy couple left for a wedding trip to Saint John and other points of interest in New Brunswick. Many beautiful gifts were received by the bride and groom, among them being a tri-light floor lamp presented to the groom by the staff of No. 6 Detachment, R. C. A. P. C., in which he is a Staff-Sergeant. For the past years, the bride has been employed by the Department of National Defense at No. 1 “Y” Depot, R. C. A. F., Halifax. The best wishes of their friends follow them to their new home at 58 Bland Street, Halifax.
