A quiet wedding was solemnized in Lakeport, Calif., Wednesday, June 17, when
Miss Opal Erlene Hasbrooke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Burton Hasbrooke, of
this city, was united in marriage to Robert H. Lafferty, of Lakeport.

The ceremony took place on the lawn of the Lafferty home at 6 o’clock in the
evening with Rev. Hare, of the Presbyterian Church officiating. The bride
was given away by her uncle, Roe T. Hasbrooke, of Upper Lake. Beautiful
bouquets of garden flowers added to the attractiveness of the setting.

Miss Hasbrooke was becomingly attired in pale yellow chiffon and beige silk
lace with accessories to match and carried a bouquet of delphinium and
lilies of the valley. She was attended by Miss Evelyn Fightmaster, who was
dressed in a lovely gown of pale blue chiffon and by Mrs. Harry Lafferty as
matron of honor, who wore pale green chiffon. The bride’s attendants wore
corsages of delicate pink baby roses.

The groom was attended by his brother, Harry H. Lafferty.

After the ceremony a three course wedding dinner was served in the home of
the groom’s parents, with table decorations in the bride’s chosen color,
pastel shades of green and yellow. A feature of the wedding dinner was the
wedding cake sent from Iowa by the bride’s mother.
