One of the prettiest weddings of ''the
 leafy, rosy month of June'' was solemn
 ized, Tuesday evening, June 21, at 8
 o'clock, at the Congregational church. A large circle of relatives and friends
 witnessed the ceremony, which was per- formed in an impressive manner by Rev J. Backus, pastor of the church. The en- tire chancel of the church was beautiful ly decorated with laurel, ferns, gerani- ums and other flowers. On either side of the chancel steps were large palms and other potted plants. A pretty innovation in church decorations, greatly admired, were 16 large wreaths of daisies, tied with white ribbons, designating, in this unique manner, the seats reserved for relatives and intimate friends. While the guests were assembling, program of classical selections was rendered on the organ by Miss Lulu Sturges of Vest port. The contracting parties were Miss Nellie Burr Wakeman, slaughter of Steph- Robert I. B. Illman, pastor of the M. E. church, Sonth Meriden, Conn. The bridal party entered the church, led by the ushers, George Edwin Burr, John Maurice Burr of Brooklyn, N. Y., Armen Emil Marquardt of New York city Fred erick Gorham of Westport. The brides maids followed, Misses Mamie Taylor of Westport, Florence P. Bonar of Brook lyn, N. '. They were becomingly att tired in gray costumes, trimmed with passementerie and moss trimmings. They carried bouquets of LaFrance ros- es. The maid of honor, Miss Lottie Burr of Brooklyn, N. r., preceded the bride. She was tastefully dressed in gown of a delicate shade of cloth and Bengaline silk, en tram, heavily garnitured with jet. She carried bouquet of Marechal Neil roses. The bride, pretty blonde, came up the aisle leaning on the arm of the groom. She looked charmingly in a rich gown of silver gray velvet and Ben- galine silk, en train, trimmed with steel passementerie and point de gene lace. Her bouquet was Nephetos roses. The bride was the recipient of many useful and valuable presents. Immediately af- ter the ceremony, the happy couple left for a pleasantly planned wedding trip, with the best wishes of all. On their re- turn, they will reside at South Meriden, Conn.
