One of the quietest and prettiest weddings
of the season took place at Bridport last
Wednesday, at the tasteful and well-appointed
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles A. Parrish,
when their daughter, Evie f., was united in
marriage to Carroll A. Wocott. At two
O'Clock the bride, attended by her bridesmaid,
Miss Lizzie Nottingham, of Shoreham, and
the groom, accompanied by his brother, Mer-
rill T. Wolcott, as best man, proceeded to the
strains of the wedding march, played by Miss
Iheda Baldwin, under an arch of evergreens,
trimmed with white ribbon, where they were
joined in the holy bonds of wedlock by the
venerable Rev. w. \. Bacon. The bride was
tastefully gowned in brown with trimmings of
the same color. After refreshments had been
served the happy couple departed. The
many presents, both valuable and useful,
show the esteem in which the young couple
are held. Mr.. and Mrs. Wolcott will reside
