THE MINNEHAN COLE WEDDIl

THE MINNEHAN COLE WEDDING.
Promptly at noon on Monday of this
week large party OF friends gathered
at the home of Mr. and Mrs Joseph
Cole to witness the marriage of their
eldest daughter, Lillian May, to Dan
iel Leroy Minnehan. While the
Bridal Procession from Lohengrin
was being rendered by Miss Jessie c.
Cochrane, the bridal couple, attended
by Hattie and Francis Cole, the small
sister and brother Of the bride, took
their places before Rev r. H. Gesner,
of whose church at Lime Rock the
bride is member, who read the i'm
pressive service Of the Episcopal
church, using the ring as a pledge
which united two lives for veal or
woe. The bride looked very sweet and
winning in her white silk waist and
skirt of her going away gown, which
was tailor made and of dove colored
covert cloth, witha roses in her hair.
She carried large bouquet of bride
roses, which, after the ceremony, she
tossed to her young lady friends, the
one who caught it to be the next bride.
1t is needless to say that all were
eager to be the lucky one, but were
destined to disappointment as the
flowers passed over the heads Of the
young ladies only to fall at the feet OF
a certain young man in town, who
bids fair to make good the omen in
the near future. Usually the groom
is entirely overlooked in accounts of
the wedding ceremony, but this time
we will mention how he upheld his
honors with becoming dignity and in
a clear, firm voice repeated, Il, Dan
iel, take thee, Lillian, for better or
worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness
and health, until death do US part"
After congratulate the party did
justice to SumptuOus repaSt and the
happy pair left on the "a p. m. train,
amid the usual showers Of rice and
good wishes from the host OF friends
who gathered at the station to start
them successfully upon the matrimo-
NAL sea, for axshort trip, after which
they will settle in Burrville, Conn.
