Wedding Bells
Goobie-Seaward
An event of unusual interest took place at the Methodist Church, Clarenville, on Monday afternoon, Jan. 22nd, when Mr. Andrew Seaward and Miss Rosie Goobie were united in marriage by Rev. Isaac Davis. The bride looked charming in a dress of white crepe de chin, trimmed with over net of Valenciennes Lace, with hat to match, and bridal veil. The bridesmaids were Miss Agnes Goobie, sister of the bride, Miss Alice Seaward, sister of the groom, Miss Flossie Balsom and Miss D. Mercer, Methodist teacher. The groom was attended by J. B. Froude, Mr. Lyman Strong, D. Connally and Mr. Alfred Webber. The Church was filled with relatives and friends to witness the ceremony. Miss Inez Gulliford presided at the organ and furnished appropriate music: the wedding march being nicely rendered. After the young couple had been pronounced man and wife, and the register signed, the party experienced their first shower of rice,
and for several minutes it literally poured rice. After leaving the Church volleys of musketry greeted them, until the Seaward homestead was reached; after which a reception was the order of the evening. Guests to the number of one hundred and fifty sat to tables laden with everything that the inner man could desire. The Groom’s mother, Mrs. A. Seaward, the bridesmaids, Miss Mercer and Miss Balsom, deserve great credit for the efficient manner in which they looked after the comfort of the assembled guests. The wedding was kept up until early morning, and music, singing and dancing was enjoyed by the younger folks. The groom’s present to the bride was a handsome necklet of silver and Oriental pearls; to the bridesmaids, enamelled brooches of white design: to the groomsmen, Mother of Pearl cuff buttons. Both bride and groom are very popular. The bride is the daughter of the late James Goobie and Mrs. Miller of
Queen’s Cove, T.B. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Seaward and the brother of Constable J. Seward. The young couple were the recipients of many gifts of attractive and serviceable silverware, glassware, art pieces, household goods, linens and utensils. Judging from the unanimous approval, the expressions of goodwill, and hearty send off, the voyage of Mr. and Mrs. Seaward over the Matrimonial Sea should prove to be a complete success.
