Last evening, at the residence of NJ. w.
Levy, at the corner of Topeka avenue and
First street, occurred one of the most
brilliant social events that has occurred
this season, in the marriage of Mr.. Dave
Brunswick and Miss Ida Wertheimer.
The ceremony uniting this worthy
couple for life was performed in the spa
cious parlors of the brides uncle, Mr.. NJ.
W. Levy, at z o'clock last evening, by
Judge j. NJ. Balderston, in the presence of
only few Of the immediate friends and
relatives of the high contracting parties.
The bride has many friends and &C
quaintances in this city who, although
wishing lifelong JOY and happiness, yet re-
greet 20 bid her adieu as Miss Wertheimer.
The groom, who has been in business in
Wellington for some time past, is we'll
known to many of our best people, and he
is to be highly congratulated upon winning
so handsome and estimable lady.
At precisely o'clock the bridal party
marched into the beautiful parlors which
had been richly and profusely decorated
with cut flowers and evergreen, TO the
strains of Memberships wedding march.
The bride was led in on her
uncle's arm, and the groom and
Mrs. Levy followed. The couple then
took their place under a huge marriage
bell composed Of tropical flowers of many
hues and the nuptial knot was tied. Con
CALCULATIONS were then showered upon the
happy couple by all present, and general
reception of the friends of the bride and
groom then commenced and lasted until
after 10 o'clock
The floral decorations OF the room were
simply superb. No effort or expense was
spared to make them as beautiful as
human brain could devise and human
hands arrange. Many of the flowers were
tropical and were ordered from other cities
at considerable cost.
As the guests entered the door small
alcove, or lovers nook, on the right
hand was filled with plants and
flowers. Many species of the cacti family
were represented. A century plant, and
aloe in bloom, and many other beautiful
decorations met the eye. The hall was
festooned by evergreen and relieved by
beautiful feathery pampas plumes.
The parlors where the ceremony was
performed were simply picture wrought
in flowers Of every hue and the dark back
ground of evergreen a veritable fairy
bower.
Festoons of different kinds of ever
green were twined over large
mirrors and the chandeliers were
twined with smilax and a lovers
knot, composed Of smilax and cut flowers
had flown up and lodged just over the
door where each hopeless maiden present
must enter.
An exact imitation of lake was formed
in the parlor at the right of the entrance.
The lake was bordered by ferns and moss,
and rank sedge grass grew up and al
most choked a mass Of pond lilys, while
n solemn bittern stood pensively gazing
into the pellucid waters.
The elegant residence was handsomely
illuminated from bottom to top and every
flower and bit of green seemed determined
to be seen. The air was redolent with the
rich perfume of tropical flowers and costly
exotics.
Just to the rear of the parlors and open
ing out of them was the dining
room, where stood table laden
ed with the delecasies of the
season. In the center of the table was
piled a miniature mountain of fruits,
flowers and vines in tempting profusion.
On the table stood the brides cake, a huge
pile of sweetness and condiments beauti-
fully decorated and surmounted with
miniature church and a bridal couple just
coming out This cake was the present of
some intimate friends of the bride and will
be taken by them to the home of the
brides parents in Portland, Ore.

this dining room where a liberal and
delicate collation. was served, after which
