,, 1t Was Pretty Marriage-The At
teDdants-Entertaine at the
Home Of the Brides Mother.
At O'Clock p. M, February Il, the
venerable Moravian church was the
scene Of one of the most beautiful
marriage ceremonies ever witnessed
there
The contracting parties, Mr. Charles
Dewitt Ogburn and Miss Carrie
Shelton, are not only both well-known
but most popular in Winston society.
The thick falling snowflakes, coming
softly down, as if in benison on the
lovely bride and her charming attend
ants, did not deter the large number
of friends, whose good fortune it was
to have been invited to witness the
ceremony.
Promptly at o'clock Bishop Rond-
thaler took his place in front of the
| pulpit, which was concealed by bank
OF palms and various potted plants,
and In moment more came a burst
| of joyous -Mendelsohn's We'd
| ding March to which SO many happy
hearts have beaten time as they have
| marched to the altar, where the mar
| rlage vows were taken.
The ushers, Messrs. Shaffner, Hill.
| Charles and Henry Shelton (brothers
| OF the bride), came slowly up the aisles
| in couples, followed in a moment
| more by the BRIDES maids, daintily
clad in white, with white hats, and
| carrying loose clusters of La France
| Roses.
The brides maids were: Miss Mary
Fries aid Miss Lillian Long, Miss Ad-
elaide Fries and Miss Annie Rawley,
Miss Eta Shaffner and Miss Caro-
Buxton
These formed semi-circle, facing
the audience on either side Of Bishop
RUndthaler, and made a strikingly
| beautiful part Of the scene.
Then, while all eyes were turned
| with eager expectancy. the BRIDE, ac-
| compdnied 10y her only sister, Miss
| Bertha Shelton, dis maid of honor, ap-
| preached by the left aisle, while the
| groom, with his best man, Mr.. George
Hodgin, came up the right, joining
| his bride Immediately IN front Of the
| roStrum.
The simplicity and beauty of the
marriage ritual Of the Moravian
church, does not detract from its
| solemnity. and Bishop Rondthaler's
| effective delivery only enhanced its
| mpreSsiyeneSS.
The kneeling figures during the ben
| edlctlon, the beautiful circle Of brides
maids, the brilliant young maid of
| honor, looking like d fresh rose bud,
in her lovely dress Of pink silk and
| chiffon, which gave the requisite
| touch Of color-all made a nevcr-to- be-
| forgotten impression.
The bride wore an elegant gown of
satin marveleuSe, en- traine, with
trimmings of duchesse lace. Her only
ornament was an exquisite pearl
brooch, the gift of the groom. The
veil was caught back on one side with
spray of orange blossoms, on the
| other side with solitaire diamond,
| and she carried boquet of white
| roses.
She was the recipient of numerous
| elegant presents from all parts of the
| country, attestlng the fact of her wide
popularity.
After the ceremony the immediate
bridal party were elegantly entertain
| ed at the home of the brides mother,
| Mrs Z. E. Shelton, on Cherry street,
| and at O'Clock, amid showering snow
| flakes, and the traditional shoe thrown
| IN, Mr.. and Mrs. Ogburn took the
train for an extended tour in Cali
fornia. They left taking with them
| the hope of many friends that they
may find as much sunshine without as
| they carry within their own happy
bedrtS.
