Hymen's Altar.
One Of the most brilliant home
weddings which has taken place in
Kissimrnee for many a year was the
one which took place at the residence
of Judge and Mrs. George Foster Par
ker on Wednesday evenig when their
daughter, Virginia Foster, was united
in marriage with Mr.. George Michael
Dunno.
Promptly at s o'clock to the strains
Of the Bridal Chorus from Lohen-
erin. rendered by Mrs. W. L. Van
Duzor, the bridal party entered the
beautifully decorated parlors,-tne
bride leaning on the arm Of the maid
Of honor, her sister, Miss Mabel Par
ker; meeting the groom who entered
with his best man, Mr.. W. j. McKaln
of Sumter, S. C. Under an arch OF
bamboo and white roses, while to the
melody of .Hearts and Flowers the
Catholic marriage ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Father Bresnahan, Of
Orlando.
The bride was tastily attired in
white silk en- train, trimmed with seal
lace and wore a bridal we'll caught
with orange blossoms. The house
and sapcious yerandas were throng-
ed with the great number of guests.
After the ceremony an informal re-
ception was held and the happy cou-
pie received the best wishes~and con-
gratuiations of their friends, after
which light refreshments, consisting
of nut cream and cake, were served
and q happy hour was spent by the
company in pleasantries and in ad-
miring the many handsome and cost
ly wedding presents received by the
bride.
During this time the bride threw
her boquet of Bride roses among
her young lady friends and Miss Ber-
tie Johnson was the fortunate one to
receive it, thus insuring her happy
marriage within year.
The going away" gown of the
bride was a dark blue and black
changeable silk with vest of hand
made lace and a polo turban Of blue
and white, with white breast.
The bridal couple left on the mid
night train for Jacksonville where
they will spend a day, then to Way
cross where a reception will be ten
dered them on Friday night by DR..
and Mrs. J. II. Redding, aunt and un-
Gle of the bride, and on Monday they
will proceed to Sumter, S. c., their
future home.
When Kissimmee was wilderness
Judge Parker came here as agent for
he South Florida railroad, and this
has been his home ever since, so Miss
Virginia is a young lady that Kissim-
nee can claim as her own and the
town is justly proud Of her while all
wish her "God speed,' more than one
man cast baleful looks at the groom
who bore her away. NJ. Dunno, who
is from one Of the best families OF
South Carolina, lived here some years
ago.
The benediction of Joe Jefferson IN
Rip Van Winkle May yol live long
and prosper was whispered into the
ear of the blushing bride more than
once during the evening, and the stall
wart figure Of the groom looked as II
he could and would shield her from
every possible care during the coming
years.
A large house party Of friends and
relatives were present for the cere-
mony. among which were Misses Eth
el Smith, Shelly Smith, Mr.. and Mrs.
Aubrey Smith, Mr.. and Mrs. J. +.
Irvine and Mrs. r. Irvine, Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ. P. Irvine, Of Orlando. Also
Mr.. E. J. Dunno, father of the groom,
and Mr.. Wiley McKain and Miss
Adel Dunno, Of Sumter, S. c.
Over hundred friends were at the
midnight train to bid the happy cou-
pie goodbye with blessings ana
best wishes-showers of rice and 9TH
