Impressive Ceremony and Gay
Festivities at Llhle.

Bryde were solemnized and cele-
brated at Lihue on Wednesday last.
There was very delightful weather
and everything went merrily as
could be. The BRIDE is third daugh-
ter of the late Judge McBryde, Of
Wahiawa, Kauai; the bridegroom,
son of Hon. Paul Isenberg, now in
Bremen, and himself owner of Wal
alae ranch, Oahu. Both are accom-
plished musicians and very popular
in society.
The ceremony took place in the
German Lutheran Church. Decora-
tons of the editice were abundant
and rich. In rear of the altar was
an arch filled with ferns, lilies and
roses. A wreath of white flowers
tied with white satin ribbon hung
from the apex of the arch. The
wall on one side of the church was
decked with trailing passion vines,
and on the other side with Mexican
creepers and ferns, while Cd either
side were brackets filled with ferns
and roses. There was bank of
ferns and red roses on the organ; at
the left of the altar and over the pull
pit, mass of ginger blossoms and
ferns, with ferns in pots ranged
around the foot of the pulpit. This
wealth of foliage and bloom made an
effective background for the white
marble cross and the lighted candles
on the altar. The main entrance was
metamorphosed into floral arch.
Along the window arches was deli
cate tracery of ferns and MALE, and
arches of palms marked the minor
doors.
The church was filed with the re-
latives and friends of the couple.
They were not kept waiting beyond
the appointed time, 6 80 p. IN. At
that hour the bridal party entered.
The bride leaned on the arm of Mr..
r. W. L. Purvis. She was attended by
the bridesmaid, Miss McGrew. The
groom was accompanied by the best
man, MIR. Alex. McBryde, brother of
the bride. Pastor Isenberg was the
ofliciant, uniting the twain in the
ritual of the American Episcopal
Church. 1t was the first time an
English service was ever u.s. in that
church. Mr.. Theo. Purvis did the
ceremony Of giving the bride away.
Miss Bulert played the wedding
march from Lohengrin as the party
entered, and one of Meyerbeer's
marches on their retiring. Dressed
in Bengalne silk and tulle, with a
wreath of lilies of the valley and a
bridal veil, wearing ornaments of
diamonds and opals, the bride looked
very attractive.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. w. L. Purvis
gave the reception at their residence
at s o'clock. The verandas were
gaily decorated with flags. Within,
the rooms were so arranged as to
| give ample freedom of movement TO
the many guests. The happy couple
received the congratulations of the
numerous company with joyous
grace. A dance followed the recep-
ton. Firstrate music for the ball
was furnished by the Hawaiian
! Quintet Club of Honolulu, besides
which the members between dances
sang native songs. Mr.. Isenberg
himself gave song or two to the
great delight of the guests. A fine
supper was served in the dining
room. The couple LETT for kalapake

aloha in the form of the traditional
shower of rice, supplemented by
three hearty cheers for Mr.. and Mrs.
Isenberg, At later hour the com
pany dispersed, taking away the re-
membrance of happy time, for
which they accorded the need of
thanks to Mr.. and Mrs. Purvis. Ii

proved their proverbial hospitality,
by providing accommodation for a
large number of strangers.
