BROWNE
On St. Stephen's Day [Dec 26] after Mass, the Church of the Assumption, St. Kyran's, was the scene of a very interesting ceremony, when Miss Annie PARSONS of Clattice, and Mr. B. BROWNE of Tack's Beach were united in holy matrimony by their Pastor, Father FLYNN. The Bride, who is eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John PARSONS, wore a very pretty dress of cream silk, also wearing bridal veil and orange blossoms. The bridesmaids were Misses Christine CONNORS and Laura PARSONS, the groom being supported by Messrs. Leo and Neil PARSONS, brother and cousin of the bride.
The following night, a large party of friends was entertained at the home of the brides parents. Dancing, songs, music, etc., made the night pass all too quickly, not the least part of the enjoyment being the very dainty suppers which were served at intervals during the early hours. The groom, who is well known in Placentia Bay, has the good wishes of many sincere friends for a happy and prosperous voyage through life for himself and his fair bride.
