WEDDING BELLS
Sherriff-Lockwood
At 8 p.m. on September 2 the Bap-
tist Church, Sheffield, decorated with
large bowls of arum lilies and flowering
sprays of white plum blossom, with a
bridal arch and wedding bell of frag-
rant boronia and daphne, was the scene
of a wedding at which Rev. M'lntosh
Brown, of Ulverstone, officiated.
The bride was Una Anne, youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Lock-
wood, of "Craiglea," West Kentish,
and the bridegroom, Bert, second son of
Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Sherriff, also of
West Kentish.
The bride, who was given away by
her father, wore a gown of magnolia
satin, styling a long, six-gored skirt
of soft folds. It was moulded to the
hips, and fell into a long circular train,
finished with a spray of pale pink car-
nations, and leaves of silver lame. The
heart-shaped neckline was caught with
a spray of orange blossom, from which
fell a miniature horseshoe on a silver
chain, the gift of Mrs. Heald (Laun-
ceston). Kilted radium lace softened
the back of the neckline, and long fit-
ting sleeves, pleated on the high shoul-
derline, were trimmed from elbow to
wrist with small satin buttons, and
peaked over the hands. A row of the
satin buttons was carried down the
back from neck to waist, and the
bride's double veil was composed of a
layer of tulle, beneath a lavishly-em-
broidered veil, loaned by the bride-
groom's mother. It was held in place by
a coronet of mother-o'-pearl orange blos-
born. A sheaf of pale pink and creamy
gladioli and maidenhair fern, tied with
cream satin ribbon, was carried.
Mrs. C. V. Sherriff (Barrington), was
organist, and during the signing of the
register Mr. Claude Sherriff sang "I
Love You Truly." As the bride was
leaving the church a white satin horse-
shoe, adorned with Scotch heather, was
placed on her arm by Master Bruce
Spillane (Sheffield).
A trio of bridesmaids formed a pic-
turesque group in their dainty frocks.
Miss Corrie Lockwood, sister of the
bride, wore maize silk net over apricot
ponyskin. Six gores gave fullness to
the skirt, ruched round the hemline
above her gold shoes. The short sleeves
were puffed, and a spray of roses fin-
ished the heart-shaped neckline, with
covered buttons down the back of the
bodice from neck to waist.
Miss Nola Heald (Devonport) was
similarly frocked in gold silk net, posed
over matching taffeta, with a cluster of
gardenias at the neck, and her shoes
were gold.
Miss Gwen Anderson (Devonport)
wore apple-green silk net over taffeta
of the same shade, with violets bunched
at the neck, and her shoes were sil-
ver.
The head-dresses of the three 'maids
were waist-length veils of delicate tulle,
held in place by bands of autumn-col-
ored flowers. Their pretty hand posies
were brown and yellow boronia and
small roses to harmonise, set in gold
lace holders, and tied with ribbons to
tone with the narrow velvet sashes on
their frocks.
Little Nanette Dennis, of Howth,
cousin of the bride, was a dainty cush-
ion-bearer dressed as a miniature bride,
in an ankle-length frock of tea rose
pink satin, styling a Peter Pan collar
and a row of tiny covered buttons at
the back from neck to waist. Smocking
repeated the coloring of the brides
maids' frocks, and tiny bows trimmed
the front. A halo of pink and white
daisies held in place her pink tulle veil,
which drifted into a train.
Mr. Joe Sherriff, the bridegroom's
brother, was best man, and Messrs. Jack
and Tom Lockwood, twin brothers of
the bride, were the groomsmen.
The rucked satin cushion on which
the bride knelt during the ceremony
was oval shaped and edged with silver
cord, which formed a true-love knot
on one corner. It was the work and
gift of her aunt, Mrs. E. Lockwood,
Sheffield.
The bride's parents entertained 50
guests in the Oddfellows' Hall, Shef-
field, where tall silver vases of Ice-
land poppies and small crystal vases
of marigolds adorned the tables. Stream-
ers of the same coloring and silver
bells were hung above.
Made by the bride's mother, the
wedding cake of three tiers was dia-
mond-shaped and decorated in pale pink
and white, with touches of gold.
The bride's mother wore an ensem-
ble of black suede crepe, with gold kid
trimmings and black accessories. She
carried a posy of violets in a mauve
holder, tied with matching ribbon.
The bridegroom's mother chose an
ensemble of navy, with matching acces-
sories and a fur choker. She carried a
posy of primroses and fern.
Customary toasts were honored, and
dancing and musical items were enjoyed
by the guests. Many beautiful gifts
were received. The bride's present to
the bridegroom was a silver shaving
set. His gift to her was the platinum
necklace set with diamonds which she
wore during the ceremony. The first
bridesmaid received a hand-cut crys-
tal mirror, and her two companions,
gold signet rings engraved with their
initials. The little cushion-bearer was
presented with a gold bangle.
When leaving for the honeymoon on
the North-Wests and East Coasts, the
bride travelled in a frock of burnt
rust tricotine, with all accessories of
London tan, and a red fox fur.
Mr. and Mrs. Bert. Sherriff are re-
siding at West Kentish.
