Cherry History,

Henry VIII; also, that they were not

Wright found the name in every one
Of the Anglo-Saxon voca bularics which
he edited. So common were they and
SO highly esteemed that the time for
gathering them became Il recognized

this grew into a proverbial expression
for heeting joys. Cover says the fri

/ led by two little girls, who attend
ed like pages to the train, drove to
! the church in the bridal carriage,
the windows of which were framed
with garlands of cape jasmines and
orange blossoms. She entered the
! church with her brother who gave
her away and at the side of the BRIDE
groom she move dtoward the center
of the church, followed by the bridal
procession.
1t is almost impossible to describe
the beauty and brilliancy of the
church eel Temple de Guadalupe, }
which in itself is jewel. On that
morning thousands of Cape Jas
mines had been used for the gar
,, lands, wreaths and boquets with
, which the altar. the columns and
/ the chandeliers were decorated. The
pictures and statues of the saints,
the high arches OF the church were
surrounded by hundreds of electric
lights, which, together with the null
titude of burning wax candles ON the
altar and all the prayer pewg, flood
ed the church in an ocean of light.
The fragrance of the flowers, the
b~illiancy of the light, and the beau
tiful, sweet music of a stringed or
chestra made an Impression never
to be forgotten. In the center of the
church the bridal couple was met
by the priest and his attendants. The
ceremony of the hands, as it is call
ed, begins. The bridegroom places
plain gold ring, the regular we'd
ding ring, on the right hand of the
BRIDE, and another ring with pres
cious stones on her left hand, then
the priest put a wedding ring on his
hand. The couple join hands and the
rings are blessed by the priest. At
ter this the bridegroom hands to the
bride little sack, containing thir-
teen pieces of money in gold, silver
or copper, according to his financial
conditions. This money is called
"arras.' With this symbol he prom
ises to take up the duty OF provid-
ing for his wife all her life. Then
the usual questions are asked by the
priest and answered by both with:
81, Senior" Their union is blessed,
and holding their joined hands, the
priest leads them to the altar, where
the mass is celebrated. The whole
congregation assists it, kneeling
down and imploring Gods blessing
for the couple. After the cermony in
the church the happy young people
go to the sacristy, where they re-
ceive the congratulations of their
friends and relatives.
