Dorothy Ella Elizabeth Gates of New Ross NS met Harold Ora MacKenzie of Moncton New Brunswick prior to the war. They married on Dec. 3, 1945 in New Ross. Dorothy worked at the dockyards in Halifax during WW II and then at the admitting office at Lancaster Military Hospital in Saint John NB.After Harold returned from the war, he also worked at the hospital. Dorothy and Harold lefty Saint John on Dec. 2, 1945 in the middle of a snow storm to cross on the ferry to Digby. During the very rough crossing Dorothy was sea sick. They purchased the wedding cake in Saint John and managed to bring it safely across on the ferry but with a lot of worrying. Dorthy purchased her wedding dress in a bridal shop on Barrington Street in Halifax Nova Scotia.They came from Digby to Kentville by train and then by car to New Ross. The trip from Kentville to New Ross took eight hours during the raging storm. They followed the snow plow and in some place the road had to be shovelled by hand. The weather by better on the wedding day but Dorothy was still sea sick at the wedding. Dorothy's sister Beulah was bridesmaid, Paul Vienoitt was best man, both of New Ross. Dorothy wore white flat shoes and white gloves and carried a bouquet of yellow flowers, posssibly mums. They were married by Rev. Freeman Fennerty and they drove back to Kentville with him. They spent their wedding night at the Cornwallis Inn and returned to Saint John the next day.
