Column heading - Clipping from Newspapers.com
I recently got a pleasant surprise as I searched
Newspapers.com for mention of my grandparents, Ronald and Ivy Gordon in our
local newspapers and discovered a column called “Weddings of Interest” that
highlighted the wedding of their daughter Phyllis. It was written on September 11, 1957.
I enjoyed reading about the ceremony and the description of
the bride’s gown, “…a white nylon lace over taffeta, with matching bolero and
street length skirt.” And “a shoulder length veil fell from a tiara of white
flowers, and she carried a nosegay of white carnations and
lily-of-the-valley.” She must have
looked so beautiful.
Much of the column discusses the dresses and accessories of
the ladies which included her sister Florence, her mother "Mrs. Gordon", and the groom's mother "Mrs. Fraser."
It seems these days, unless you’re a celebrity, you don't see this kind of local interest story in the paper. It was a nice surprise that made my day while I learned another tidbit
of information about my Gordon family.
