WEDDING BELLS

PLOUGHMAN - MILES
A very pretty wedding took place at Christ Church, Bonavista, at 3 p.m. on
Wednesday, November 25th, 1925, when Agnes J., youngest daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. William MILES of Bonavista, and Roland, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs.
Mark PLOUGHMAN, of Port Rexton, were united in the bonds of Holy Matrimony.
The bride entered the church leaning on the arm of her father, who gave her
away; Rev. Canon BAYLY officiating. Miss Winnie SMITH acted as the maid of
honor. The groom was ably supported by Mr. George FORD. Misses Una
COLLIER, and Doris GARLAND were the flower girls. The bride looked charming
in a dress of white satin crepe, trimmed with pearls, and veil and coronet
of orange blossoms, and carried a bouquet of carnations, chrysanthemums, and
maiden hair fern. Her traveling costume was a dress of reindeer, and a coat
of henna, with hat to match. The maid of honor looked very pretty wearing a
dress of canary crepe-de-chene, with picture hat. The little flower girls
both looked pretty in pale pink silk. After the ceremony the wedding party
motored to the home of the bride's parents, where a reception was held, and
supper served, the groom's present to the bride was muskrat fur coat, and to
the maid of honor, a gold piece, to the best man gold cuff links, to the
flower girls, gold bracelets. The bride's presents were numerous and
valuable. After the supper the bride and groom entrained for Port Rexton,
and after spending a day or two with relations and friends, left for Green's
Harbor, their future home, where the groom holds a responsible position with
the firm of Drover Bros.. On their arrival at Green's Harbor, they were met
and greeted with displays of bunting, salvos of guns, and cheers. The
