St. James United Church, Stroud, was the scene of a very pretty double wedding on Saturday, October 9, 1954, when two daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Elwood Fagan were married: Miss Alberta Fagan to Philip Meech of Toronto and Miss Leila Fagan to Grant Wallace, Toronto. The double ring ceremony was performed by Rev. J. F. G. Morris of Aurora and Rev. T. G. Wanless of Stroud. Prior to their weddings both girls were honored by several showers. Miss Betty Haliburton, Toronto, entertained at a miscellaneous shower for Miss Alberta Fagan, who was also honored by an office presentation from Cockfield Brown Ltd., Toronto. Miss Leila Fagan was honored with a miscellaneous shower by Mrs. A. Cahill at her home in Toronto and also received a miscellaneous shower of lovely gifts at the home of Miss Madelaine Gibbons, Stroud. Two two sisters were given a joint miscellaneous shower at the home of Mrs. Elmer Gibbons, Stroud, with Mrs. Craig Hunter and Mrs. Gibbons as hostesses. After the church rehearsal on Friday night the bridal party were entertained at a buffet luncheon by Mr. and Mrs. John Stevenson at their home in Barrie.
