Mr.. Boyd Armstrong Remnant and MISS
Ettchen Wellington, second daughter OF
former United States Senator and Mrs.
George L. Wellington, were married at
ST. PauI's Lutheran Church, Cumberland,
Nd, last night at 8 O'Clock. The promi-
nence of the Wellington family socially
and of Senator Wellington in the politi-
cal and financial world was responsible in
bringing together representative gath
erinp at the church and at the Queen City
Hotel, where the reception was held after
the ceremony.
The wedding was one OF the most
beautifully arranged ceremonies ever seen
| in Cumberland, and was witnessed by a
large number of ladies and gentlemen from
that city and elsewhere who where attired
| in full evening dress. The church was
artistically decorated with palms and great
clusters of chrysanthemums, and the scene
was one of rare loneliness and brilliancy.
Previous to the wedding, while the audi
ence was assembling, Mrs. Jennie Lind
Green rendered delightful programme
of classic music upon the pipe organ.
AT the appointed hour, to the strains Of
the wedding march from Lohengrin, the
bridal party entered the church, and in
single file the bridesmaids and ushers,
in stately procession, slowly passed
down the side asles to the front OF the
church, then again to the rear, returning
to the chancel by the central aisle, thus
forming a bow-knot maneuver. While
UNIQUE and original, this feature was a
most beautiful and impressive spectacle,
and when the bridal party finally as
sembled at the altar and stood in their
appointed places the scene was one OF
such loneliness as not to be easily for
gotten.
The bride was given away by her
father, upon whose arm she entered the
church. Miss Gretchen Wellington, Sis
ter of the bride, was maid OF honor. The
bridesmaids were Misses Julia Lane Rein
hart and Virginia Van Swearingen Rein
hart, sisters of the groom, OF Shepherds
town, w. Va; Marjorie Cutting, of Bos-
ton; Adelia Reidel, OF Saginaw, Mich. /;
Olga Wellington, sister of the bride, and
Martha J.. Gordon, of Cumberland. Mr..
John Quigley Reinhart, of Cleveland,
Ohio, brother OF the groom, was best
man. The ushers were MeSsrs. Frank
K. Lord, of Charleston, w. Va; James
L. Grimes, OF Pittsburg; ThoS. c. Rein
hart, of Shepherdstown, w. Va. ; J. Elder
Humbird, F. Edgerton Powell and George
K. Wheeler, of Cumberland.
Rev. ]. William MCCauley, pastor OF
St. Paul's Lutheran Church, performed
the ceremony, reading the service in a
very impressive manner.
The bride wore white crepe meteor
satin, with drapereS of chantilly lace,
with tulle veil and orange blossoms. She
carried a shower bouquet OF lilies OF the
valley and orchids. She also wore large
harvest moon of fine pearls, the gift OF the
groom. The maid OF honor wore pink
crepe meteor satin, with chiffon draperies
and carried bouquet OF pink roses. The
bridesmaids were alfred in pink meteor
satin and carried bouquets OF pink chrys-

Immediately after the wedding cere-
mony at the church reception was held
at the Queen City Hotel. In the hand
somely decorated parlors, where again
the color scheme was pink and green,
with greatvas oflovely chrysanthemumS
in evidence on every hand, the happy
couple received the congratulations of
many friends. Later they led the way to
the large dining room, where a buffet
supper was served. The younger folks
spent couple of hours in dancing, with
music by DaiSy'S orchestra, avery delight

extent.
