Nuptials of Lieut. WG BAUM, an Original 2nd CMR, and Miss Enid C HEINEKEY Celebrated at St Mary’s
A wedding of extreme interest to a wide circle of friends of the bride and groom took place at St Mary’s, Oak Bay, yesterday afternoon when Miss Enid Courtenay HEINEKEY, daughter of Mr and Mrs GM HEINEKEY, 1536 Bank Street, was married to Lieut William L BAUM, one of the original 2nd CMR;s and eldest son of GW BAUM, Esq of Leicester, England. The groom saw extensive service overseas, having left here with the 2nd CMR’s in August 1915 and returning to Canada last December following the armistice.
Col the Rev GH ANDREWS performed the ceremony in the presence of a large congregation of interested friends. Lovely white flowers in lavish profusion transformed the church into a veritable bower for the ceremony and flags draped above the entrance to the chancel furnished an effective military note in the decorative scheme.
The bride entered the church with her brother, Lieut GA HEINEKEY, late president of the GWVA, as the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin was played. She looked radiantly pretty in her lovely gown of ivory duchesse satin with its overdress of white georgette. A diadem of orange blossoms caught her veil of filmy tulle and a bouquet of beautiful bridal roses completed here charming toilette.
Miss Maud MacPHERSON, the only bridesmaid, wore a pretty frock of maize silk and georgette with black picture hat and carried a bouquet of pink roses and white carnations. The Misses Constance ROSS and Kathleen SHAW were winsome little flower girls in their picturesque Dolly Varden frocks of white with pink and blue sashes respectively. Both wore quaint close-fitting Dutch bonnets of lace and carried gilt baskets filled with sweet peas and roses, which they strewed in the path of the bridal party on leaving the church. Captain KRF DENNISON, RAF, supported the groom, Mrs HEINEKEY, the bride’s mother, wore pearl-grey silk with a smart French toque of black trimmed with a white ostrich plume, a corsage bouquet of pink rosebuds completing her very attractive costume.
After the ceremony a reception and wedding breakfast was held at the bride’s home, the reception rooms being effectively decorated with Shasta daisies, ivy and ferns, while in the dining-room a color scheme of pink and white prevailed, the table at which the bride cut the three-tier wedding cake being swathed with pale pink tulle and wreathed with sweet peas in the same shade. The many handsome gifts received by the young couple were much admired by the guest. The groom’s gift to the bride, was a silver-fitted dressing case and to the bridesmaid a pearl brooch.
Lieut and Mrs BAUM left on the 4.30 boat for Seattle en route for Portland and other points in the United Sates, the bride travelling a in smart tailleur costume of sand gabardine with chic hat en suite. On their return from the honeymoon trip they will remain in Victoria for a few days before proceeding to Bamfield, where they will make their home.
