One of the prettiest church weddings
that has occurred in Kenosha in re-
cent years took place Thursday even
ing at St. Matthew's church when
Miss Mary Elizabeth Charles, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. James Hanbury
Charles, and Mr.. William Frederice
Anklam, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
Anklam, of Menasha, Wis, met at the
sacred altar and p1ighted their vows
| for life. It was pink and white wed
ding and the elaborate decorations of
both the church and the house as well
as the gowns worn by the young Ia
dies taking part in the ceremony har-
monized with these prevailing colors.
The decorations at the church were
palms and asters, the chancel being
almost entirely hidden by banks of
palms, while each pew was adorned
with punches of asters of different col
ors. The time set for the ceremony
was seven O'Clock, but for half an hour
before that time the church was filled
with the sweet strains Of the organ
which was played by Mrs. Tanner.
! Promptly at seven O'Clock the first
notes of the wedding march from
Lohengrin was heard and the wedding
party entered the church from the
tower room. The procession was led
by the ushers followed by the four
bridesmaids in single file. Then came
| the maid of honor followed by the
bride leaning on her fathers arm. At
the altar the bridal party was met by
the groom attended by Mr.. James
Charles, who acted as best man. The
music stopped for a moment and the
ceremony was performed according to
the ritual Of the Episcopal church by
Rev. Charles L. Mallory. The bride
was given away by her father. I'M
mediate1y after the last words of the
ceremony the loud notes of the organ
announced the occasional and the
bride and groom led the procession
out of the church, after which the
wedding party and few relatives and
intimate friends proceeded to the home
of the brides parents on Exchange
street, where the wedding dinner was
served.
The bride was attired in white chif-
fon with a bridal veil of white tul1e
which reached to the ground. She
carried a magnificent bunch of brides
roses. The bridesmaids wore pink,
