Gordon-Sharp Wedding

15 October 1941

Colin GORDON married Jean May SHARP on 15 October 1941, at the home of the bride in Awamarino, King Country, NZ. According to a valued source (a witness at the wedding), the wedding ring was dropped, and my valued source remembers Colin and Oswald scrabbling around on their hands and knees on the floor, looking for this ring. You won't find that in the following report from the newspaper!

King Country Chronicle Wednesday October 29 1941

A wedding of interest in the district was celebrated quietly at the home of the bride, when Jean, elder daughter if Mr. And Mrs. E. J. SHARPE, was married to Colin Campbell GORDON, eldest son of Mr. And Mrs. George GORDON, Te Anga. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Webber, of Otorohanga.

Mrs. SHARPE, mother of the bride, received the guests wearing a smart frock of floral crepe de chine, navy accessories and carrying a posy of carnations.
