Robinson-Oickle wedding notice

Wedding[1]

Robinson – Oickle

A very pretty wedding took place last Saturday at the home of the officiating clergyman, Rev. Henry R. Boyer, 86 North street, when Nina Jean Oickle became the bride of George Alfred Robinson.  Both bride and groom are well known in this city.  The bride, who is a native of Bridgewater, has been for some years a valued member of the staff of Moirs, Ltd., and Mr. Robinson, a popular salesman for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.

The wedding, a quiet one, was attended by several close friends.  Miss Crooks, a personal friend and co-worker of the bride, was bridesmaid and F. R. Zwicker, of H. M. S. Dockyard, groomsman.

The bride, who was dressed in a tailored traveling suit of navy tricotine, with black picture hat trimmed with alluring touches of soft dove grey, and a stole, also of grey, presented a charming appearance.  Both the bride and bridesmaid carried bouquets of amber roses and carnations.

Immediately after the ceremony the happy couple left for the former home of the groom at Walton, Hants county, for a brief honeymoon.  A large party of friends accompanied them to the train.

Mr. and Mrs. Robinson will reside at 97 Charles Street.




[1] The “Miss Crooks” in this Halifax wedding announcement is Clare; she underlined her name in pen. She also wrote “1923” at the top of the article. She apparently added this clipping years after the fact; we have already established that earlier pages of her book date to 1925. This document is important because it shows Clare was living in Halifax and working at Moirs (a candy manufacturer) at age 21.
