source Keith Thompson newspaper clippings (4 - 2 - 16)
Memorial Park United Church, Carleton Place, was the scene of a pretty wedding on
Sunday afternoon, May 5th., 1951, at two o'clock when Miss Barbara Ann Craig, elder daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Craig became the bride of Mr. Allan Henry Symington, son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. Milton Symington of Arnprior, Ont. The church was decorated with snapdragons,
carnations, chyrsanton mums and lily of the valley-blended shades of pink and white. The
pews were marked with white satin bows. The Rev. H. W. Griffin B.A., performed the double-
ring cermony. Mr. Paul Vinden was organist and Mrs. Vinden sang The Lord's Prayer before
the cermony and Because during the signing of the register. The bride, given in marriage by
her father was lovely in a floor length model of Schiffli embroidered tulle over shimmering
satin featuring a bateau neckline and short sleeves. The bouffant skirt fell in tiers to the floor.
A double coronet of iridescent sequins held her fingertip veil of tulle illusion. She carried a
white Bible adorned with blue Pinocchio buttons of mums and lily of the valley tied with
white satin streamers. Miss Jean Craig, of Ottawa, attended her sister as maid-of-honor and
the bridesmaids were Miss Mary Cooke of Ottawa and Mrs. Craig A. Hobbs, of Carleton Place.
Mr. Claire Symington of Arnprior was best man and the ushers were Mr. Russell Turner and
Mr. Wayne Symington of Almonte, all cousins of the bridegroom. The attendants wore
identical gowns of blue lace and nylon tulle, with bouffant skirts of ballerina length, matching
jackets of lace, and small mohair hats. They carried bouquets of pink sweetheart roses and
fern. Following the ceremony a reception was held in the church hall, which was pettily
decorated for the occasion. Later, the couple left for a honeymoon motor trip to Western
Ontario and points in the United States. The bride travelled in a pink cotton satin dress and
a blue wool duster coat with tapered push-up sleeves and lining to match the dress. She
wore a blue hat and Panama colored accessories. Her corsage was of pink sweetheart roses
and lily of the valley. On their return they will reside in Carleton Place. Out of Town Guests
