Manual transcription corrected on 22 April 2026 after comparison with Transcript-28.pdf, a clearer register page for the same marriage.
Earlier readings of the parties as "Donald J. K. Kiviniemi" and "Elmiina J. Rivard" were erroneous; the immutable raw PDF filename still reflects that older reading.
The groom birthplace is abbreviated on the form as "Pr. Edw. Isld.", consistent with Prince Edward Island.
The bride mother's name appears to read Chloe Bruce; recheck against a stronger image if this becomes a canonical relationship.
