MARRIAGE BY PHONE
FIRST OF ITS KIND IN ONTARIO. “Ontario’s first marriage by telephone was performed recently, when Ruby Cockburn, of Woodville, became the long-distance bride of Lance Corporal Aubrey Chalmers, who is stationed with the Army at Windsor, Nova Scotia. The bride and groom exchanged their vows over the ’phone, while a Toronto minister officiated. The reason for the whole thing was that Chalmers hadn’t been able to get leave on the day that had been set as his wedding date.” —Gerry Wilmot in “Canadian News Round Up,” from the 8.8. C.)
