A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING.
Miss GeDelle Brabham Married to
Mr.. Leroy Wilson. Jr.

The people o. Bamberg have not
had the pleasure of witnessing a
more beautiful wedding than that of
Miss GeDelle Brabham, only daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. J. Brabham,
of this city, to Mr.. Leroy Wilson,
Jr., son of Capt. Leroy Wilson, Of
Allendale, last Thursday evening, at
6 o'clock, in Trinity Methodist
church.
Under the direction of Mesdames
H. F. Bamberg, NJ. w. Brabham and
J. E. Fielder, the large auditorium
had been converted into a veritable
dream of pink and white loveliness.
These colors were most effectively
carried out in the decorations, and
in the costumes of the attendants.
On the right was an arch of white,
entwined with graceful smilax sup
porting the letter B, constructed OF
white roses, through which the en-
trance was made, and on the left
arose a similar arch, bearing the
letter w, the brides path OF de-
parture.
Directly over the center, and
spanning the rostrum, another great
er arch held the wedding bell, a
most artistic creation of roses as
white as the drifted snow. A great
holder of pink carnations nodded
their perfume-ladened heads over
the center of the altar rail, myriads
of tiny pink candles added their
twinkling beams to the brilliant elec-
trio lights, and trailing ferns formed
a most effective and charming back
ground, enhancing and accentuating
in a most striking manner this beau
tif,ll picture, and forming bower
we'll adapted to the plighting of troth
by this popular young couple.
Lohengrin's tender notes from the
pipe organ, played by Mrs. A. w.
knight, announced the appointed
hour, and slowly the attendants in
the following order filed in and took
their places within the chancel:
Ushers, Messrs. A. NJ. Brahham, f.
M. Moye, H. F. Bamberg and j. r.
Fielder, all of Bamberg.
Attendants: Mr.. J. e. Searson,
of Allendale, with Miss Ramella
Rice, of Denmark; Mr.. G. R. Bullock,
of Bennettsville, with Miss Lucille
Folk, of Bamberg; Mr.. c. F. Brooks,
of Allendale, with Miss frankie
Folk, of Bamberg; DR.. Vance w.
Brabham, of Bamberg, with Miss
Lillian Moss, of Royston, Ca; Mr.
E. M. Mixson, of Orangeburg, with
Miss Annie Lou Byrd, of Bamberg;
Master Harold Bra5ham, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Otis Brabham, Of Allen
dale, ring-bearer, and little Miss
Adele, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Il.
J. Brbaham, Jr., of Bamberg, fower
girl.
Following the tiny boy and fairy
like maiden to their places on the
rostrum, came the dainty, fair
bride, handsomely gowned in
princess costume of white duchess
satin with accessories OF Irish lace,
tulle veil entrain, carrying a shower
bouquet of white carnations, attend
ed by her maid of honor, Miss Susie
Hodges, of Greenwood. Advancing
from the rear of the rostrum, with
Mr.. W. L. Maner, of Allendale, best
man, the dark, handsome groom met
the bride-elect beneath the suspend
ed bell, and there, in a most solemn
and impressive manner, Rev. T. 6.
Herbert, pastor of Trinity, performed
the sacred ceremony which united
these. two lives tfor better or Tor
worse"
The maids were dreams Of beauty
in their princess gowns OF wn1te
satin, entrain, with armsfull OF pink
carnations, only the maid of honor
wearing q costume of pink. Har-
old Brabham, the ring-bearer,
nephew of both bride and groom,
wore a handsome suit of white satin,
with trimmings of pink, and little
Adele, niece of the bride, was most
dainty in handmade lingerie irish
lace, white, with butterfly sash OF
pink. The gentlemen were elegantly
attired in regulation evening dress:
A dreamy reverie softly echoed
through the stiffness during the cere-
mony, and as the last solemn words
were spoken, the joyous, triumphant
chords of Mendelssohn burst from
the organ and bade the happy pair
"God speed" as they wended their
way out to begin life's journey to-
gether.
From the church, the bridal party
repaired to the beautiful, hospitable
home of the brides parents, where
Mrs. Brabham was efficiently and
graciously assisted in her duties as
hostess by Mrs. Henry F. Bamberg
and Mrs. Jacob E. Fielder, near rela-
twas ~ tho hridp
Soon the guests were regaled with
delightful refreshments, consisting
of a course of salads, cakes and
coffee, Misses May Brabham, Bessie
Armstrong and Leonard Folk being
the charming mattresses.
The happy young couple left on
the 8 o'clock evening train, en-
route for Washington, showered with
rice, old shoes and good wishes. The
brides travelling costume was a
most becoming coat suit of navy blue
cloth, with hat and gloves of the
same shade.
In this marriage Bamberg loses
one Of her most loved daughters, for
anon their return the yOung couple
