An event of more than ordinary interest took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis of Gore Bay on the forenoon of January 10th int. The occasion was the marriage of their daughter, Miss Sadie A., to Mr. Alexander McGillivray, of Butte, Sask.
About forty guests witnessed the ceremony, which was performed by Rev. R. Wiseman of Barrie Island. The bride wore a gown of pearl grey crepe-de-chine with a boquet of carnations and ferns. As the bridal company entered the drawing room the wedding march was gracefully rendered by Miss Bessie Jaffray. After the ceremony and while the register was being signed the solo, �Oh Promise Me�, was sung by Miss Laura McRae with very happy effect. A very tasty wedding breakfast was then partaken of, at the close of which the toast, Health and Happiness of bride and groom was proposed and duly honoured by the company.
The young couple left the bride�s home at two o�clock amid showers of rice and good wishes to spend their honeymoon in Toronto, Niagara Falls, Orillia, and Mt. Forest. The bride�s travelling suit was of brown gabardine with hat to match and she wore the groom�s gift, a handsome coat of muskrat fur. After the trip extending over a month they expect to return and remain in town for a few weeks, after which they will depart for Butte, Saskatchewan they intend to make their future home.
Mrs. McGillivray is one of the most popular young ladies in Gore Bay. She has always been an interested and faithful worker in the Methodist and recently in the United Church. The choir, the Sunday school, indeed every branch of the church could depend on her for sympathy and assistance. The many costly and useful gifts gave evidence that her faithfulness was appreciated. The choir�s regard was manifested in a very handsome cabinet of pearl handled knives and forks. Her Sunday School Classes, both collectively and individually also presented her with some costly tokens of the love existing between teacher and scholars. She will be greatly missed in this community, but such estimable young people as Mr. and Mrs. McGillivray are just the class of citizens that are required to make our Great West what it ought to be. We wish them both a bright and happy future.
