Marriage Notes: AN INTERESTING WEDDING" The Chesley Enterprise, Jan. 30, 1890

"Our Williscroft correspondent sent in an account of a wedding which took place a few days ago on the Elderslie - Arran town line. It was a marriage contracted under difficulties, and it is hoped that all's well that ends well.

The parties involved were George Flood of Paisley and a Miss McKelvie of Arran. Flood is a very young man to undertake such serious work and his father quite naturally, objected to marriage taking place. However, preparations for the wedding went serenely on. The day arrived, the invited guests in large numbers put in an appearance, and the minister, Rev. Mr. Sherlock, of Arkwright, was just on the point of beginning the last act in the drama when the young man's irate father unceremoniously introduced himself and endeavoured to arrest further proceedings. He advised the young man to go home, promising in case he did so to send him to college. Failing in this, he proceeded to scare the minister, which he most effectively did. He then left and Mr. Sherlock did likewise. But a conveyance was procured, the young couple were driven to Burgoyne and the Baptist minister of that place was induced to tie the knot. They then returned to the residence of the bride's father, which they reached about 11 P.M. The guests were still on deck and it is needless to add, did ample justice to the excellent repast which had been provided. Here the curtain drops." 1
