Gubbay-Gonnor Wedding

p. 23 · Read in the full issue

THE wedding of Mr. Roy Gubbay, of Santo, and Miss Bon Connor, formerly of Broken Hill, NSW, took place in the SDA Church, Santo, New Hebrides, on March 31.

The ceremony was performed by the

Rev. Mr. Miller and the expertly trained native choir sang in the church during the service and afterwards on the jetty at the island as the bridal party returned to the mainland by launch.

A delayed “breakfast,” attended by friends of the couple, was held in the

Santo Workshops mess at 10 p.m., that night.

Best-man and Matron-of-honour for the occasion were Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, of Atchin Island off the coast of Malekula.

The wedding was originally announced for June, but plans were put forward owing to the speed with which carpenters had been able to erect a house for the couple.
