An unusual marriage ceremony was performed at Port Lincoln on Wednesday evening, when two New Australian's were married at the District Registrar's Office by the Registrar (Sgt A. E. Copp).
The bride was Miss Vanda Lazevnikaite, a Lithuanian, and the groom, Mr Stefan Naninski, Ukrainian, at present employed at the Kopi waterworks camps.
The ceremony believed to be the first of its kind on Eyre Peninsula was performed with the aid of an interpreter.

The events of WWII forced many Lithuanians to flee their country. Unable to return, over 10,000 came to Australia. This is their history.

We acknowledge the stories, traditions and living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on this land and commit to building a brighter future together.
