On Wednesday, the 29th of June, a
wedding occurred i'll the parish of St.
James which should have received earlier
notice from the CHIEF. We refer to the
marriage Of Mr.. JOSEPH, Guidry, son of
Mr.. Philimon Guidry, to Miss Georgina
Landry, daughter of Judge N. S. Landry.
q ceremony that was attended by
great number of relatives and friends Of
the contracting parties and proved a
very pleasant and auspicions beginning
of what we hope will be n long life Of
connubial bliss. The marriage was pre-
coded by an elegant family dinner at the
residence of the brides father which was
a very enjoyable affair. At half past
o'clock in the evening the party repaired
to St. Michael church in fifteen carriages,
and there the happy twain were made
one, Father o. Renaulier conducting
the interesting ceremony. Bridesmaids
and groomsnen We're dispensed with and
in their stead two little girls, each about
five years of age, dressed in pure white
and bearing flowers in their hands, led
the way up the church aisle to the altar
and stood OH either side of the bride and
groom. After leaving the church the
party returned to Judge Landry's resi-
dence, where refreshments were served.
The College Point Band was in atter-
dance and furnished music for the dance
which followed. 1t was midnight before
the festivities came to 4 close and the
newly welded couple took their depar-
ture for their home at Guidry's plantation
on the right bank of the river.
