| Newspaper | Published 22 Feb 1939 in the Vancouver Sun. Quiet Wedding Of Much Interest At a very quiet ceremony this afternoon at Ryerson United Church, Frances Bonnycastle, twin daughter of Mr and Mrs G F Bonnycastle, exchanged nuptial vows with Mr William Eric Urquhart, eldest son of Mr and Mrs William Urquhart of Burnaby. Rev Dr E D Braden read the marriage service and the bride was attended by her twin, Jocelyn, while Mr Hugh Bonnycastle, brother of the bride, acted as groomsman. A soft wool dress of redberry with matching suede accesories and smart spring sailor with perky bow under the rolled brim was worn by the bride during the ceremony, and when leaving by motor for Seattle, she donned a boxy coat of citron green collared in cloudy beige fox. Her twin wore a smartly tailored navy blue ensemble. On their return from the Sound City, the couple will reside on West Tenth Avenue.3 |
