The wedding of Katie Fletcher and Brigham
Northrop took place on Wednesday ter
noon at 3 O'Clock in the 2nd Congregational
church. The day was perfect and the occa-
sion quiet and enjoyable one. The Episco-
pal service was used Rev. A. T. Tenney off
chatting, assisted by our pastor, F. A. Cakes.
The bride was dressed in a plain but rich
white silk and a veil fastened with flowers,
which together with the bouquet of rose buds
she carried were her only ornaments. The
bridesmaids were Misses Carrie Fletcher and
Mamie Flagg. Miss Fletcher wore dress of
shrimp pink albatross and china silk and Miss
Flagg cream white and old rose china silk,
each wearing bouquet of white flowers. Mr..
Marvin acted as best man and Messrs Nathan
Smile and Melville Maurice as ushers. Miss
Flora Pearl played the wedding march and
all passed off smoothly under the directions
nf B. j. Page and Mark Hebb. The church
was decorated and the lamps lighted for the
occasion and the scene frightened by a pro-
fusion of beautiful plants and cut flowers.
The parties passed through an arch of ever
green in each aisle, on one of which was the
name Fletcher and on the other Northrop in
white flowers and from each was suspended
horseshoe of panses tied with a bow of white
ribbon. A pair of gilt bars in posts of flow
ers were let down on each side by boy and
girl for the bridal party to pass through and
the cel emory took place under a large arch
of green decorated with sweet peas, from
which was suspended a cluster of three gilt
bells edged with white flowers and a gilded
rope. The bride and her party passed in I'M
der the name of Fletcher and all passed out
with the groom under the name of Northrop,
preceded by two little children scattering
flowers. The reception at the home of the
brides parents followed Immediately after,
and as the invitations read mo presents" the
only ones were some magnificent diamonds
from the groom to the bride. The congratu-
lations were many and sincere and after the
wedding cake was passed by four maids of
honor in white the party dispersed. The hap'
ply couple left on the five O'Clock train. Many
friends gathered at the depot to shower them
with rice and old shoes with the expressed
wish that their life may be as bright and hap
Ply as their wedding day.
