THE WEDDING MARCH.
For a few minutes the guests chatted
! gaily, but conversation was quickly sus-
pended at 7:15 p. m, when a selected
orchestra from the Marine band stationed
in the corridor struck up the familiar
strains of the wedding march from Men
delssohn's Midsummer Nights Dream,
| and all eyes were turned to the doorway
to catch the first glimpse of the coming
bride and groom.
| The delicate ivory shade of the
brides wedding gown found an ex-
| quisite setting in the masses of Grim
son roses Immediately beyond. The
! president was in full evening dress
with rundown collar, white lawn neck
tie and white studs. A hush fell upon the
assembly as DR. Sunderland stepped for
ward to his position fronting the wed
| ding couple, with Rev. William Cleveland,
! the presidents brother at the left hand.
DR.. Sunderland said: Marriage is
| honorable among all men, in that a man
shall leave his father and mother and
cleave unto his wife and they twain shall
be one flesh. 1t was constituted by our
Creator in the first paradise. 1t was con
fessed by patriarch, priest, prophet and
! apostle. 1t was confirmed by the teaching
and adorned with the presence of our
Redeemer and it has been honored by the
faithful keeping of all good men and
women since the world began 1t is not,
therefore, to be undertaken lightly or I'M
advisedly but soberly, discreetly and in
the fear of God. Into this holy estate
| this man and this woman come now to
! enter.
"In token of the same let the ring be
| passed" (The groom placed the ring on
! the brides tinger),
DR.. Sunderland, (sOlemnly), 'Foras-
much as Grover and Frances have here
| agreed and cOvenanted to life together
after Gods ordinance in the holy estate
of wedlock, and have confirmed the same
| by giving and taking the wedding ring,
now therefore in the presence of thes com
pany and in the name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, pro
nounce and declare that they are
HUSBAND AND WIFE,
and what God hath Joined together let no
man put asunder.
At the conclusion of the ceremony Mrs
Folsom, showing a trace of deep emotion,
was the first to tender her congratulations
to the newly married pair. She was fol
lowed by Miss Cleveland, Rev. Mr.. Cleve-
land and other relatives and friends in
turn.
