Conisborough Wedding

 

The wedding took place at Denaby Parish Church on Sunday of Mr. Arnold Spencer Wheatley, only son of Mr. and Mrs. F. Wheatley, of the Alma Hotel, Conisborough, and Miss Peggy Walden Cock, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Cock, of Fletwell, Norfolk.

The Vicar of Denaby, the Rev. S. Powley, officiated and the service was choral, Mr. Ernest Dabbs being at the organ, and the hymn “The voice that breathed over Eden”, being sung.

The bride, who was given away by Mr. Stephen Baines, was charmingly attired in a pale blue gown, with a pale blue veil and a coronet and wore a silver stoned necklace and a bangle to match. She carried a sheaf of lilies with green fern and had as her bridesmaids Miss Elizabeth Baines, Miss Edith Wheatley, Miss Dorothy Shires and Miss Doreen Bell, all of whom were attired in blue, with pink coronets to match. Miss Baines and Miss Wheatley carried mauve tulips and the other two attendant´s posies of violets.

The bridegroom´s gifts to the bridesmaids were evening handbags and powder compacts. Mr. Joseph Dunn was best man and Messrs. Douglas and Gordon Farmer were groomsmen.

After the ceremony a reception was held at the Alma Hotel and just before the wedding breakfast was about to begin the hot water pipes burst, but the mishap did not affect the jollity in the least and the guests quickly turned the occurrence into a joke.
