WEDDINGS
Price - Maskell
St. Peter's Church of England, Hamilton, was decorated with arum lilies and silver bells by friends of the bride for the wedding of Miss Eva Maskell and Mr. Alexander Gordon Price. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mrs. E. S. Maskell and the late Mr. W. C. Maskell, of Hamilton, and the bridegroom is the third son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Price, of Ashfield. Rev. H. C. Barnes officiated at the ceremony. Miss Ruby Grisfale was soloist, and Mr. A. F. Nicholls played organ music.
The bride's beautiful gown of white organza had tiny satin ribbon bows trimming the bouffant skirt, which featured a frill at the hemline and was trained. The short sleeves were puffed, and the corsage shirred into a fitted waistline, finished with satin ribbons. A halo of lilies of the valley held her embroidered tulle veil and she carried a bouquet of hyacinths, stocks and camellias. She added a cameo necklace, the gift of the bridegroom. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr. W. Maskell.
Mrs. F. Duncan, sister of the bride, was matron of honour, and Miss Jean Maskell, niece of the bride, attended as bridesmaid. They were also gowned in white organza made on old-world lines, with an off-the-shoulder decolletage and tiny puffed sleeves. The bodices were shirred, and the waistline finished with velvet puffed sleeves. The bodices were ?, and the waistline finished with velvet ribbon bands and a trailing spray of white stocks in front. They added shoulder-length embroidered veils of white tulle and carried Victorian posies of pink stocks, sweet peas and hyacinths. The pendants they wore were gifts of the bridegroom.
Mr. Sid Davidson was best man, and Mr. Ernest Price, brother of the bridegroom, was groomsman.
The reception was held at Winn's Shortland Room, where the bride's mother received the guests in a navy blue hand-embroidered romaine frock, worn with burgundy accessories and a shoulder spray of red carnations.
