Mr.. W. Trenholm Hopkins Welded
Miss Anne McHenry Lynah.
At Christ church last evening, in the
presence of a brilliant assemblage, which
filled the church from chancel to doocs,
Rev. Robb White performed the wedding
ceremony Of Miss Anne McHenry Lynah
and Mr.. William Trenholm Hopkins.
There is little needed TO convert the
chancel of Christ church into a beautiful
picture. and this effect was produced by
the graceful grouping of tall palms, which,
with the glossy green Of smilaX made an
effective background for the bridal party.
Among other selections of music, that filled
the interval of waiting before o'clock
was the Pilgrims Chorus from Tam
hauser, beautifully played by Miss Co
burn, and promptly at the hour appointed
for the ceremony, the familiar notes Of
the march from Lohengrin announced
the entrance Of the bridal party. Mr..
Hopkins, with his best man, Mr.. J. Ferris
Cam. awaited their coming at the chan
Gel steps.
The ushers led the approach to the al
tar and took their places in two of the
pews where they remained during the
ceremony. They were Mr. Newell
West and Mr.. George Free
man, Mr. Jack Rauers and Mr..
George Gadsden. and Mr. Savage Lynah.
They were followed by the bridesmaids
and maid of honor, Miss Emma Hopkins,
Miss Jenkins Of Augusta, Miss Meissner of
New York, Miss Sarah Mills, and Miss
Elise Rauers.
Pausing at the head of the aisle the
bride and her father, Mr.. c. NJ. Hoist.
passed between them to the foot of the
chancel where the betrothal service took
place
The bridesmaids gowns were extreme
ly pretty, and original in design: White
organdie and valenciennes lace, over ciel-
blue satin, with the daintiest little blue
satin Jackets. and they carried large bou-
quets of La France roses.
The bride, always handsome, looked ex-
tremely well in her beautiful gown of
white satin The bodice was of softest
lace appliqued on white chiffon, with a
deep belt of white satin into which was
tucked a cluster of orange blossoms. She
carried no flowers in her hand, only a
white prayer-book, which was used for
the service. While the Rev. Mr., White
performed with impressive eloquence
the sacred ceremony, Rubenstein's melody
was family heard and, as the bridal party
left the church, the organ pealed forth
Mendelssohn's wedding march.
From $50 to II o'clock reception was
held at the residence of Mr.. c. NJ. Hoist,
which was handsomely decorated for the
occasion with palms, ferns, and quantities
of pink and white flowers. A throng Of
