Marriage Pauline Victoria Gardiner, 1934

Daily Colonist, 4 November 1934

Miss V Gardiner is pretty bride

In the presence of relatives and a few intimate friends, in a charming setting of flowers and greener, Rev Canon Chadwick conducted the marriage last evening at 8:30 o’clock of Pauline Victoria, only daughter of Mr and Mrs George A Gardiner, 1016 Pakington Street, and Mr Kenneth Fraser Moffatt, only son of Mr and Mrs GA Moffatt, of Vernon.

The Bride was given in marriage by her father, and wore a lovely imported frock of suede lace, made in the new streamline mode, flaring to a short train.  With this she wore a smart little jacket fastened up the back to the neck, and finished with long sleeves tapering to a point over the wrists.  Her hat of suede lace was edged with a small brim of tulle, and she carried a tiny muff of lily of the valley and roses.

Mrs Gardiner wore for the occasion a beautiful ensemble of pansy velvet and a corsage bouquet of roses.

Supper served

Following the service, supper was served at the home of the bride’s parents from a table artistically arranged with roses and Sheffield candelabra holding tall cream tapers. Before the bride cut the cake, the toast was proposed by her uncle, Mr FA Pauline.

After a motoring trip in the South, Mr and Mrs Moffatt will make their home in Vernon.  The bride left on her travels wearing a Patou model high-necked costume of lovebird green cleverly laced down one side with satin in matching tones, and a velour hat of a deeper shade, and a Hudson seal swagger coat finished with an Ascot tie.
