| Joined in wedlock Tuesday morning
at the episcopal residence on Wyo-
ming avenue, by Rev ]. A. O'Relli,y.
| The wedding was private, only a few
of the immediate relatives being pres
ent. The bride was attended by her
daughter, Miss Margaret Schimffp, and
Miss Emma Schimpff was maid of
honor. The groom was attended by
his son, Edward II. Gunster.
A most beautiful and elaborate we'd
ding which has been surpassed by none
on the West Side and probably by
none in the central city, was that of
Thursday evening, when Miss Margaret
Edwards, eldest daughter of Judge and
| Mrs. II. M. Edwards, was married to
Edward w. Thayer, esq. The WASH
burn Street Presbyterian church was
| the scene of the ceremony and was
handsomely decorated with banks Of
palms and many cut flowers, while
huge bouquets of roses marked the
pews reserved for the house guests.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
DR.. j. u. Moffat. The maid of honor
was Miss Anna Edwards. The brides
maids were Miss Ella Williams, Miss
Edith Richards, Miss Florence Gibbs
and Miss May Edwards. Mr.. Herbert
Thayer, brother of the groom, was best
man. The ushers were Messrs. John
II. Edwards. Harry p. Decker, Frank
Mansfield and Francis Wettling. The
bride was given away by her father.
Bauer's orchestra played the wedding
music.
The bride, -vho Is exceptionally at
tractive, and whose beauty is of the
| J1Ii 40 oh, iY,er
gown of richly embroidered mousseline
de sole over white taffeta. The garni-
tude was duchesse lace and panne vel
vet. She wore a veil fastened by dia-
mond ornaments and carried bride
roses and lilies of the valley. The
maid of honor wore lemon mousseline
de sole over taffeta and trimmed with
applique. Two of the bridesmaids were
attred in pink mousseline over pink
silk. The others wore blue.
The home of the brides parents was
most elaborately decorated by Clark.
Few brides have stepped forth from
: such bowers of roses in leaving the
home of their girlhood. They were
used in arches, festoons, garlands and
bouquets in every available spot and
so delightful was the weather that they
: preserved all their freshness and beau
ty. Ii was truly rose wedding.
The groom is young man OF many
! intellectual gifts and has had consid-
; cradle success in a literary way as well
: as in his profession. Upon their return
Mr.. and Mrs. Thayer will reside at 212
5 South Main avenue.
