oleander and masses of fragrant green
cry from the Island glens and mountains,
Miss Mabel Waity, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. H. e. Waity, became the wife of
Mr.. Maurice Brasch at the Central Union
Church last evening. To the martial
strains of the Mendelssohn Wedding
March the bridal party entered the por-
tails of the great edif1ce and marched
down the aisle to the altar, where the
pastor of the church, Rev. William Nor
ris Kincaid, met them. Six ushers, Mr..
j. Tarn McGrew. Mr.. Robert Single,
Mr.. Oliver Carter, Mr.. F. w. Nebahn,
Mr.. j. F. Cockburn and Mr.. E. T. Grady,
preceded little Miss Lillian Waity, sister
of the bride, and Master Douglass Da-
mon, who seemed a miniature bridal
couple themselves in their pretty even
ing costumes. The little couple carried
the brides bouquet of roses.
Miss May Damon, the bridesmaid, was
unattended as she walked down the aisle
heralding the approach of the bride, who
leaned on the arm of her father, Mr.. H.
E. Waity. The groom met the bride at
the altar, where the pastor, in the i'm
pressive service Of the church. joined
them in marriage. The service was
made deeply impressive by the rendition
of the beautiful love song, 40 Promise
Me-" played upon the organ by Miss Lii
liam Byington.
As the bridal party turned away from
strains of 80 Promise Me-" We're SUBJ
dued. and the inspiriting strains of the
Lchengrin Wedding March pealed out
upon the night joyous token for the
future happiness of the couple. Little
Miss Waity and Master Damon strewed
roses in the path of the bride and groom
as they left the church and the wedding
was indeed flower function.
The bride wore a beautiful white silk
dress en- traine and high at the neck,
caught here and there with fine tucks of
lace, a bridal vail being caught with
bunch of orange blossoms. She carried
a bouquet of roses which came from San
Francisco for her. In contrast with her
dark hair the effect was to set off her
brunette beauty to advantage.
Miss May Damon, the bridesmaid wore
a pale green gauze over blue silk, trim
med with gold passementerie and white
tiful bouquet of pink roses. She formed
a pretty contrast to the bride.
Mrs. Waity wore a pale gray taffeta
trimmed with white lace and pink vel
vet.
Mrs. S. M. Damon was attired in a
handsome dove-gray brocade.
The church had beautiful floral effect
the whole altar platform and organ loft
being almost concealed beneath masses
nf nd nntted Mains through
which pink anG white ribbons were fes-
TONED, while here and there were jardi-
neres of tiger lilies, relieving the
dense green tropical background. Sus-
pended above the flowers was a dove
with outstretched wings, holding in it's
bill ribbons of white and pink which
were caught above the vestry portals on
either side of the platform. Great banana
stalks thanking the doorways completed
a bower effect.
Following the wedding ceremony a re-
ception was held at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. H E. Waity, Beretania avenue.
A large marquee erected the lawn
was the reception hall where the entire
bridal party received the guests during
the evening. The interior of the marquee
was artistically filled with Island bios
SONS. palms, and ferns, the circular sides
being hidden by a display of flags of all
nations. Above the bride and groom
hung a beautiful floral bell. Festoons of
flowers stretched from the low marquee
sides to the apex. The reception hall
and decorations were unique and novel.
Upon the lanai of the residence an or
chestra played during the evening. Mr..
and Mrs. Brasch will spend their honey
moon at Waialua.
