  Marriage Notes:

Shelburne Free Press & Economist - Wednesday, December 2, 1959 - Page 9 - LAVERTY-HENRY WEDDING HELD IN CORBETTON UNITED CHURCH:
Corbetton United Church was the scene of a pretty autumn wedding on Saturday, October 17th, when Kaye Janice, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Branter Henry, of Corbetton, was united in marriage with James William Laverty, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Laverty, of Orangeville. Mr. W. J. Stewart, assisted by Rev. W. C. Tupling, of Cedar Springs, cousin of the bride, performed the double-ring ceremony. Baskets of bronze pompoms and yellow shasta 'mums and ferns, in a setting of autumn leaves, decorated the church. Miss Barbara Brown, of Port Credit, cousin of the bride, played the wedding music. The soloists were Mr. George Doney, of Toronto, who sang, "The Wedding Prayer," before the ceremony and Rev. Tupling sang "The Lord's Prayer" by Malotte, during the signing of the register.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a floor-length gown, of hand-clipped French lace over net and traditional satin with fitted pointed bodice, styled with a sabrina neckline and long lily-point sleeves. The bouffant skirt provided back interest with yards and yards of rich lace tiers. A small full crown of seed pears and rhinestones held her finger-tip veil of pure silk hand-rolled illusion. She wore a single strand of pearls with matching earrings and carried a cascade bouquet of red Pearl of Aalsmeer roses with feathered white 'mums. She was preceded up the aisle by little Miss Beverley Brown of Shelburne, who carried a basket of yellow shasta and white pinnochio 'mums and scattered rose peals in front of the bride.

The bride's cousin, Mrs. Maurice Beacock, of Toronto, was the matron of honor. The bridesmaids were Miss Shirley Anne Laverty, of Orangeville, sister of the groom, Miss Marie McIntosh, Corbetton, and Miss Marion Hunter, Orangeville. Little Miss Gail Madill of Leamington carried the rings on a satin cushion. The attendants wore identical ballerina-length gowns of Crystal Charm styled on princess lines with empire waistlines and hooped buffant skirts, square necklines and brief sleeves. Small velvet bows down the backs provided back interest. Matching hats with streamers down the back and elbow-length mitts completed the picture. The matron of honor wore bronze while the bridesmaids chose emerald green. They carried ballerina bouquets of yellow and bronze pompom 'mums. The flower girl and ring-bearer wore short dresses of gold crystal charm with full-tiered skirts and gold headbands.

Harvey Haddock of Mono Centre was groomsman. The ushers were Aubrey Henry, brother of the bride, and Murray Ray Robinson, Hillsburg, cousin of the groom.

The reception was in the church hall, where the W. A. served a hot turkey dinner. The bride's mother wore a bronze brocade sheath dress with brown accessories and a corsage of pink carnations. Mrs. Laverty chose navy blue shantung with silver and white trim and white accessories. She wore a corsage of white carnations. Assisting in serving were Miss Judy Stewart, Kay Stewart, Joan and Barbara Brown and Winona Fraser.

Leaving on a wedding trip to Northern Ontario, the bride wore a brown Regina fur jacket over a green wool dress with brown and beige derby hat and a corsage of light and dark bronze pompom 'mums.

Mr. and Mrs. Laverty have taken up residence on their farm in Mono and the bride has returned to her duties on the nursing staff of Orangeville hospital.
