Marriage Thomas Irvine Cormack and Shirley Mary Pauline, 1954

The Province 17 March 1954

Cormack-Pauline vows repeated at ceremony of wide interest

Victoria – Mr and Mrs Thomas Irvine Cormack, married Saturday in St Mary’s Church, will soon travel to Germany to make their home near Hamburg, where the groom will be stationed with the 2nd Bn PPCLI.  The couple will travel on honeymoon to Calgary, where the groom is now stationed.  He will leave for Germany at the end of March, when Mrs Cormack will return to Victoria, leaving in several months’ time to join him.

Archdeacon AE Del Nunns heard the vows of Shirley Mary, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs Oliver Pauline, and the son of the late Alan Cormack, well-known ship builder, and the late Mrs Cormack.

The bride is granddaughter of the late Hon James A Macdonald, former chief justice of British Columbia, and Mrs Macdonald and of the Hon FA Pauline, former agent-general for BC, and the late Mrs Pauline.

An afternoon length gown of amethyst iridescent taffeta was worn by the attractive bride. The gown was styled with full crinolined skirt, fitted bodice trimmed with matching sequins, and bateau neckline.  She wore a tiny shell hat of iridescent dusky rose straw and carried a cascading bouquet of rosebuds.
