THE TRIBUNE, WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. Thursday, December 9, 1984.

White Carnations Theme
Of O'Fee-Parliament Nuptials

White carnations were, the central theme of decorations
at the Sacred Heart Church November 27th when Elizabeth
Yvonne Parliament exchanged vows with John Thomas O’Fee.

The nuptial was celebrated by Rev.
J. Naphin C.Ss.R. at 9 a.m.

The bride is the younger daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Parliament of
Canningtn, Ontario; while the groom
is the elder son of Mrs. B. J. O’Fee
and the late Mr. ‘Henry O’Fee of
Clandonald, Alta.

Given in marriage by Dr. H. K.
Atwood, the bride was charming in
her champagne corde dress accented
by winter white accessories. A single
beautiful white orchid formed the
bridal corsage, and she carried a
white prayer book.

Mrs. Geo. Steward, sister of the
groom, was sole attendant and chose
‘a navy blue suit with powder blue
accessories for the occasion. Her cor-
sage was fashioned of pink tea roses.

Best man was Mr. George Steward,
while Mr. Liam O’Fee and Mr. Roy
Clements acted as ushers.

During the rites, the mail choir
from St. Joseph's Mission sang
“Panis Angelius” and “On this day,
© beautiful Mother.” Organist was
Mrs. Liam O'Donovan.

The ceremony was followed by a

wedding breakfast at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Liam O’Fee. At the eve-
ning reception, the bride’s table was
covered with her grandmothe
linen tablecloth and was centred
with a beautiful three-tiered wed-
ding cake made by her mother. White
carnations were again used as the
floral background.

Receiving the guests were the
groom's mother attired in a teal blue
dress With a corsage of baby yellow
chrysanthemums and Mrs. H. K. At-
wood in a black suit with a red car-
nation corsage.

Rev. J. Boyle C.Ss.R. proposed the
toast to the bride.

Following their wedding trip to
Prince George, Mr. and Mrs. O’Fee
will be making their home in Wil-
ilams Lake. The bride was a former
matron at War Memorial Hospital.

Out-of-town guests included the
grooms’ mother, and Mrs. Jack
Fighter of Vancouver.

Telegrams were recetved by the
happy couple from Ottawa and Can-
ington, Ontario, Grande Prairie and
Fairview, Alta.

... WITH IRENE

It’s new and bright and shining,
and the daily routine of our life has
been changed for the better.

If you have alread read the paper
from cover to cover, you may have
moticed that one C. Stangoe was the
winner of an automatic pop-up toast-
er in the Beath Motors drawing.

You could have knocked us over
with a feather!

The Stangoe family is not noted
for its luck in the matter of draw-
ings, sweepstakes, bingo, bridge or
tiddlywinks — so we could not be-
lieve our good fortune until the
toaster was actually in our greedy
little hands.

As far as I’m concerned, we could
mot have won
anything I want-
ed more. I sup-
pose the car
gadio would have
been nice, or a
set of tires, but I
don’t run around
in the car very
much andI dearly @
love to catch an aol,
extra forty winks in the morning.

That probably doesn’t make sense,
but I will explain. In this household.
father long ago found out that he
would have to get himself out of bed
and to work without any co-opera-
tion from mother.

This he used to accomplish with
@ minimum of effort and time, arriv-
ing at the office in a fairly calm and
even temper.

But times have changed with the
advent of our family. Now when he
scrambles out of bed after going
back to sleep for another half an
hour after the alarm went off, little
daughter gets up too. This entails a
frenzied hunt for dressing gown and
slippers that never seem to be in a
handy spot, and by the time Daddy
has crawled under the bed and look-
ed in all the nooks and crannies the
temper is beginning to wear a bit
thin.

At one time Daddy could shave
himself, by himself; but now he
must shave little daughter too (make
beleive of course). In the meantime,
he has managd- to get the coffee
perking — and then comes the burn-
ing question “What do you want for
breakfast, Elaine?”

“A boiled egg, my Daddy,” bright-
dy say Small Fry. Daddy puts a piece
‘of toast in the toaster (not auto-
matic), gets the juice out of the
fridge, gets a pan out to boil the egg
in — then “FOR ?/&%! SAKES,”
a ad scramble, a smell of burning.
“Well, let’s put on some more toast.”

Daddy gets the pan of water boil-
ing, goes to put the egg in, then “I
don’t want a boiled egg, Daddy, I
want corn flakes,” says Elaine. “One,
two, three, four five says Daddy.
“Okay, honey, Daddy will get a dish
for your corn flakes." “OH NO! NOT

AGAIN,” another mad scramble,
more smell of burning. Mumble . . .
Mumble “why dosen't your
mother ‘mumble... mumble.

“Well, here’s your corn flakes,

Elaine.” “I want toast too, Daddy.”
“YOU want toast... mumble...”

You know, I find it asvfully hard
to sleep some mornings with a1] that
racket going on, and sometimes my
conscience bothers me a little bit too.

But all that has been changed by
our new acquisition. Now father can
attend to the needs of small daughter
without any mad scrambling for the

toaster, and if we could just arrange
some gadget that would find those
elusive bedroom slipper, mother
could sleep in peace.

I just hope too that this toaster
will remain in good working order
for a long time ‘cause I don’t want
the editor to try and fix it.

_ We had an automatic toaster once
before. It was a wedding present and
a beautiful thing that did everything
except butter tht toast for you. Bells
rang, lights flashed . . . but not for
long. The bell stopped ringing one
day. The editor insisted he could fix
it. Then the lights stopped flashing
too. The editor still thought he could
fix it. Then the switch stopped work-
ing. Finally we got to the stage
where we plugged it in the wall and
stood and watched it like a hawk,
just like the old-style toasters. Then
it quit toasting. The editor still fig-
ures be could have fixed it, but in
the meantime I invested in an in-
exensive flip-style toaster.

I’m not throwing out the old on
It is carefully stowed away in c
the editor figures he can fix this one
too,
