Hunter—Park

Autumn-coloured gladioli formed the setting in Knox Presbyterian Church, Grand Valley, on Saturday, September 20, 1958, for the marriage of Esther Park, Arthur, to Lloyd Hunter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Hunter, Grand Valley.

The Rev. G. Wilson, Hillsburg, officiated at the double-ring ceremony. Mr. C. W. Lawson, Grand Valley, played the wedding music and Misses Gwen and Mildred Shaw sang “The Lord’s Prayer” before the ceremony and “Because” during the signing of the register.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a floor-length gown of snowy Chantilly lace and tulle over slipper satin. The lace bodice featured a Sabrina neckline which was brought to a V at the back with two floor-length panels of lace and tulle. It featured a Princess waist with basque effect and long lily-pointed sleeves. Her finger-tip veil of silk illusion was held in place by a half crown of seed pearls, coloured sequins and rhinestones. She carried a cascade bouquet of red rosette roses and stephanotis.

The maid of honour, Miss Reita Harding, cousin of the bride, was gowned in rose crystal charm in ballerina length with matching feathered headdress. She carried a cascade bouquet of pink Pinocchio roses and white carnations.

Mr. George Hunter, brother of the groom, was groomsman. The ushers were Mr. James Park, brother of the bride, and Mr. Lionel Reaken.

The reception was held in the church parlors for sixty guests. The bride’s table was centred with a three-tiered wedding cake decorated with white and pink rosebuds and topped with a miniature bride and groom, and the bridal bouquets.

The guests were received by the bride’s mother, who wore a Dior blue crepe dress with rose accessories and a corsage of ‘mums. She was assisted by the groom’s mother, wearing a dress of navy blue satin backed Worstrella and white accessories and a corsage of ‘mums.
