in Spotsylvania, occurred in Walters
church OF historic memory. when Miss
Katherine Perkins Dew. was led TO the
alter by Judge Robert Emmett Waller.
and impressively united in marriage hv
their pastor Rev. ]. l.. Ryland. Owing
TO the popularity Of the contracting par
ties. the occasion was Of unusual interest.
and long before the appointed hour the
church was packed TO overflowing with
friends and relatives. from this. aud ad-
iourning counties. The decoration OF the
alter with smiiax and lilies. was most
beautiful and artistic in effect. Many
candles and lovely lamps, shed a mellow
light on the scene.
Six ushers; DR.. Thomas Welch Dew.
brother OF the bride; Dr. II. NJ. DeJar-
nette; Messrs Douglas Dew, Clarence c.
Chewning. W. II Maddox and f. II. De
Jarnette gracefully walked up the aislee
and took their position around the alter.
Then followed the bride up the left aisle
leaning on the arm OF her sister Mrs. W.
g. Brockenbrongh, her Dame of honor.
while the groom proceeded up the right
aisle with his brother, Mr. Absalom Wal.
Ter his best man. The bride was indis-
crioably lovely, exquisitely gowned In a
pearl gray tailor made suit, her principal
ornament being superb diamond brooch
presented by the groom. She carried a
bouquet Of brides roses and maiden hair
ferns
The Dame of honor looking very stately
and handsome, was beautifully attired
in white with applique trimmings. and
carried large bouquet OF pink Ia France
roses and maiden hair ferns.
The many friends fthe groom enjoyed
his look OF intense satisfaction, as he
proudly led his sweet and attractive
young bridelrom the alter. The wedding
march was imprcssiveIy rendered by Miss
Mary Davis. who also played some low
sweet melody during the ceremony.
Standing near the door in the amen
corner, OF the church, were two yenera-
bic figures conspicious in this gay assem-
blagc. They were highly esteemed old
family servants. who had come thirty
five miles across the country. to witness
the ceremony.
On leaving the church the newly mar
ried couplelei on an extended bridal trip.
taking with them the best wishes OF all.
for their future happiness.
