Paulin-Clark Rites

Couple Honeymoon on Oregon Coast

St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church was the scene of the wedding Friday evening, which united Elizabeth, daughter of Mr and Mrs Alick Reginald Clark, 849 Pemberton Road, and Mr George Paulin, son of Mr and Mrs CW Paulin, Pembroke Street.

Dr JLW McLean officiated at the double-ring service.

After a wedding trip to the mainland and the Oregon coast, the couple will return to Victoria to live at 85 Sims Avenue.

Enchanting gown of silk organza was worn by the attractive bride.  It was fashioned with fitted bodice complemented by softly draped sleeves and a sabrina neckline outlined with Chantilly lace.  A tiara of seed pearls and rhinestones held her veil of illusion trimmed with lace.  She wore as jewelry, a pearl necklace and earrings, gift of the groom.  Her cascade bouquet was of white and pink roses centred with a sprig f white heather, sent by friends in Scotland.

Preceding the bride up the aisle was her sister, Miss Margaret Clark, maid of honour, and her small cousin, Miss Susan Clark, as flower girl. A ballerina length dress of frosty white nylon organdy over net and turquoise taffeta was worn by the maid of honour.  Tiny turquoise daisies dotted the pretty frock, and a cummerbund was tied at the back in a butterfly bow. Her hair bandeau was of pink and white carnations, as was her bouquet.  Little baskets of flowers embroidered the dainty white organdy frock worn by Susan.

Best man was Bud Brice and ushers were Don Hamilton and Bob Caldwell.

Receiving guests at a reception in Holyrood House, mother of the bride wore a two-piece dress of beige-toned lace.  A clever pink lace and taffeta dress was worn by the groom’s mother.

Bride’s uncle, Albert E Clark, proposed the toast.

For her going-away outfit, the new Mrs Paulin donned a sheath-style dress and matching coat in beige tone worsted fabric. Her hat and gloves were mint green and she had a corsage of white carnations.
