  	RATH - FONTAINE A double ring ceremony was solemnized in Holy Cross Church, Norwood, Man., on Saturday, July 16th at 5:00 p.m., when Catherine Carole (Fontaine), younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Fontaine, became the bride of Mr. Wilfred Herbert Rath, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Rath, Clayton, Ontario. The bride, given in marriage by her father, chose a waltz length gown of silk organza and Chantilly lace. The lace bodice, nestling in a bouffant skirt, was designed with a contoured and shirred cummerbund giving a high cut effect. It featured petit sleeves and a sabrina neckline enhanced by iridescent sequins. Her chapel veil of illusion net drifted from a cap headpiece of nylon tulle trimmed with sequins and seed pearls, and she carried a cascade bouquet of red Delight roses. Her only adornment was a cultured pearl on a gold chain, a gift of the bridegroom. Attending the bride was her sister, Miss Janice Fontaine. She wore a cocktail length gown of mist pink organza styled with a fitted bodice of lace, little sleeves and a bouffant skirt. Her headpiece was of matching pink silk organza with a small circular veil, and she carried a cascade bouquet of pink carnations. The bride's mother chose a sheath dress of blue silk organza over satin with matching accessories. Her corsage was of deep pink Sweetheart roses. Mr. Robert Shewan was best man, and Mr. Walter Skye ushered the guests. A reception and dinner followed at the Curtis Hotel, with Mr. William Dunbar proposing the toast to the bride. Following a motor trip through the United States, the happy couple took up residence at 231 Dearborn Avenue, Winnipeg. For going away, the bride chose a sheath ensemble of beige linen with matching toned accessories.
