WEDDING CORNER

June 2, 1956: A 21-gun salute begins at Queen’s Park in Toronto to commemorate the third anniversary of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Nearby at the Trinity College Chapel, guests at the wedding of the late Brian Heeney ’54 and Goodith Feilding—which was under way at the same moment—surely saw the military salute as an auspicious beginning for the couple.

Former Dean of Divinity Charles Feilding, also the father of the bride, performed the marriage ceremony. The Heeneys went on to have four children, three of whom went to Trinity: Michael Heeney ’80, married to Hilary Meredith ’79; Tim Heeney ’88 married to Shuna (Baird) Heeney ’89; and Matthew Heeney ’92. Annie (Heeney) Johnston did not attend Trinity, but two of her children, Trevor Johnston ’04 and Malcolm Johnston ’07, continued the Trinity family tradition.
