ENGAGEMENTS:
Mr. and Mrs. William Hustler, Streetsville, announce the engagement of their daughter Margaret Ann, to Mr. Norman Russell Little, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Little, Shelburne. The wedding will take place the latter part of August.

Shelburne Free Press & Economist - September 20, 1950 - LITTLE-HUSTLER:
A lawn wedding took place on Saturday, August 19th, 1950, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Hustler, Streetsville, when their daughter Margaret Ann, became to bride of Mr. Norman Russell Little, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Little, Shelburne. Rev. F. LeFauvre, of Toronto, officiated. During the ceremony Miss Florence Johnston, Orangeville, sang, "Through the Years" and "O Perfect Love." The pianist was Miss Joan May, of Hornby.

Carrying a bouquet of white roses, the bride, who was given away by her father, looked charming in a pink chiffon floor-length dress and white veil. She was attended by two bridesmaids, Miss Otha Hustler, a sister, and Miss Velma Bennett, of Owen Sound. They wore similar taffeta gowns of blue and yellow and carried bouquets of red roses.

The groomsman was Mr. Maurice Little, brother of the groom. The groom's gift to the bride was a Bulova wrist watch; to each of the bridesmaids, a string of pearls and the the best man a tie clip.

A reception was held at the home of the bride's parents for about sixty guests. The bride's mother received in a gray floral silk marquisette dress and corsage of red roses. She was assisted by the groom's mother, who wore a navy blue silk crepe dress and corsage of red roses.

For the honeymoon trip to northern Ontario, the bride wore a forest green silk crepe dress with gray topcoat and corsage of red roses. They will reside on the groom's farm at Mono Dell.

On the afternoon of August 18th, a miscellaneous shower was held at the home of Mrs. Frank Hall, Streetsville, for Miss Margaret Hustler, bride-to-be, when she was the recipient of many useful gifts.

On the evening of August 23, a presentation was held in Mono Dell School for Mr. and Mrs. Russell Little, newly weds. Mr. Edgar Kendrew acted as chairman and Miss Marion Buchanan read the following address:

Dear Russell and Margaret, - Once more the joyous wedding chime has warned us all of place and time, when we at Primrose should be denied in order that the knot be tied. We are gathered to-night in the little red school where Russell learned to Golden Rule, and where Margaret spent a year of toil, settling all the children's quarrels. We have known you Russell, since your childhood days, with all your bright and cheerful ways. We have noted your progress through the years, so for the future we hold no fears. While Russell is awakened by the early alarm, and begins his hard day's work on the farm, Margaret will be greeted at the school door, by a group of children - two dozen or more. We are happy to have you living near us, and Margaret, you need never fear us. We are just a happy group of frineds, so to you and Russell, our best wishes we extend. Our wishes are still greater far, May God be with you where'er you are, giving you peace and joy and health and a happy share of the world's wealth. Please accept this gift we brought. May it bring you back a happy thought, and also make kife's burden lighter, and all your days so much the brighter.

Signed on behalf of your many friends and neighbors - Alan Elgie, Harvey Rutledge, Mac Cunningham, Walter Lee, Eddie Kendre, John Buchanan.

Their gift, a purse of money, was wheeled forward in a doll carriage by Walter Lee. The groom replied with some well chosen words. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing.
