Two Weddings soIemnized Last
Wednesday.
Miss Frieda Tape Becomes Him
ister's Bride.
Milford Celebrates Wedding of
Popular Young People.

One of the prettiest church weddings
that has ever been solemnized in this
city was that of Reverend Imannuel f.
Albrecht to Miss Frieda Tape at ST.
Paul's Lutheran church last Wednes-
day evening at 7:30 O'Clock.
When the time set for the arrival Of
the bridal party came there was not a
pew left untitled in the entire church.
Many of the friends stood in waiting
in the vestibule and even outside on
the lawn. The bride appeared at the
church punctually at the appointed
hour accompanied by her father, Otto
Tape, and followed by her brides
maids, who awaited her in their carri-
ages at the door. When they appeared
the sexton closed the doors OF the
church and the ushers drew two white
ribbons on each side of the centre aisle,
shutting in the pews, during which time
Rev. CT. Albrecht entered the chancel.
At their appearance Prof Oscar
Frey of La Crosse, as organist, pealed
forth the opening notes of joyous
wedding march, and the entire com
pany arose as the cortege advanced
up the aisle. At this moment the
bridegroom appeared attended by
Gustav Albrecht as best man, and
stood at the foot of the chancel steps
awaiting his bride, according to tradi-
tional usage, seeing her for the first
time that day. The ushers lead the
procession two by two, followed by the
bridesmaid, in white India lawn and
carrying pink carnations. The bride,
who came last leaned upon her fathers
right arm.
At the foot of the chancel steps the
ushers broke ranks-half their number
moving to the right and half to the
left and then, passing up into the
chancel they formed half circle at
each side, the bridesmaids standing
between the ushere. Here, gracefully,
they divided and the bride passed be-
tween them and took her hand from
her fathers arm to place it in that OF
the bridegroom, who advanced to meet
her. After kneeling a moment in alb
solute silenceth the solemn service began,
and willingly they answered Eyes
and eve will'' in answer to the groom
fathers words as they were made man
and wife.
AS the final blessing was spoken the
newly made husband and wife arose
from their knees and turned to leave
the altar. The lady of honor, Miss
Adelaide Albrechtarranged the bride IS
train, and the organist again pealed
forth the strains of a wedding march
and the happy couple, arm in arm,
passed down the aisle followed by the
attendants-the maid of honor first
then the bridesmaids, and the ushers
last. The best man passing through
the vestry met the bridegroom at the
church door. They entered their
carriages awaiting them on the outside
and were driven to the pleasant home
of the bride on North Washington
street. The house was prettily decor
ated in roses and the lawn illuminated
with japanese lanterns. After a few
selections by the Fairfax choir at the
house the assembled guests partook O.
an elaborate supper.
1t was indeed d pretty wedding an(
one that has seldom had its equal il
this city. The groom and his at
PENDANTS were dressed in conventional
black, while the bride was arrayed il
transparent MORE white silk, dropped
over with white tatfeta and trimmed
with point Esprite lace. She wore {
white chiffon veil trimmed with lilies 0
the valley and carried boquet of bri
dial roses with white streamers of silk
