8. Marriage Announcement, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, newspaper. 15 September 1915.

   McNALLY--KNIGHT.   A very pretty autumn wedding was celebrated this afternoon at two o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. Nicholls, 232 Cameron street, Port Arthur, when their niece, Anna Marguerite Knight, became the wife of Mr. Carleton Dilworth McNally of Fort William.
   The ceremony was performed under an arch and bell of white asters and a profusion of golden glow blossoms and trailing evergreen, charmingly arranged in the large bay window of the drawing room.  Vases of yellow and white dahlias also adorned the room.  In the living room was prettily arranged an abundance of purple, white, and mauve asters, while the color motif of the dining room was pink and white, and carried out in pink and white sweet peas and bridal roses.  The Rev. G.K.B. Adams, pastor of Trinity Methodist Church, officiated, only the immediate relatives and of the family being present.  Miss Eunice Beaver, sister of the bride, performed on the piano during the ceremony.
   The bride, who was given in marriage by her uncle, Mr. R. Nicholls, looked very fair and winsome in her wedding robe of white charmeuse with dainty fichu of tulle embroidered in crystal and pearls.  The gown was made in princess fashion with touches of real lace at the sleeves, the silk embroidered wedding veil of tulle falling to the hem of the skirt.  The veil was arranged in juliet fashion with a wreath of orange blossoms.  She wore the groom's gift, a pearl sunburst, and carried a shower bouquet of cream roses and lillies, the sprays tied with narrow chiffon ribbon.  Little Mabel Nicholls, niece ["niece" crossed out and "cousin" written in by hand] of the bride, made a very dainty ringbearer.   She wore a hand embroidered frock of white silk organdy and carried a small basket of  yellow and white roses tied with a broad white ribbon.  To the ringbearer, the groom gave a handsome pearl necklet, and to the pianist, Miss Eunice Beaver, a pearl ring.  Mrs. Nicholls, aunt of the bride, wore a handsome gown of black satin and Mrs. W. S. Beaver was gowned in blue charmeuse.
   Following the ceremony, a wedding luncheon was served, covers being laid for fifteen guests. The table, centred with the bride's cake, was very prettily arranged with smilax and sweet peas. Strands of broad white satin ribbon entwined with smilax were hung from the electroller to the four corners of the table, where tall vases of pink and white sweet peas were placed.
   The bride's traveling gown was of navy blue broadcloth, made in military style and trimmed with broad bands of fur. The coat opened over a flesh-colored blouse of Georgette crepe and silk lace.  Her hat was of black silk velvet with touches of pink in the osprey and brim.
   Mr. and Mrs. McNally left in the "Harmonic" for a honeymoon trip in the east, and upon their return will reside in Fort William.  Many handsome and useful gifts, including cut glass, silver, linen, and pieces of furniture were received by Mr. and Mrs. McNally.
