Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1911-08-22


At ten O'Clock the bridal party re-
paired to the dining room and sixteen
were seated at the brides table,
which was heart-shaped and covered
with white satin cloth, and had an
exquisl ; heart-shaped center piece OF
lilies of the valley. Everything per-
tanning to the table was white except
ing the green leaves of the lilies of
the valley. On the buffet was decor
ated wedding cake and at each end
were tall baskets of lilies of the val
ley. The sight was beautiful one to
behold, and those who did not catch
a glimpse of it missed one of the most
charming pictures of this memorable
evening. At the close, the brides
cake, which was also heart-shaped,
containing favors, was cut and there
was great rejoicing by the ones to
whom fell those most coveted. Small
tables were distributed throughout
the rooms and on the enclosed porches,
each had center piece, wreath
of pink roses, in the center of which
was pink shaded wax taper.
At ten O'Clock all present sat down
to wedding repast served in courses,
by caterer Biggs of Chicago, and his
able corps of assistants. At the close,
pretty souvenir boxes of wedding
cake, tied with white silk, were dis
tributed to each guest. Upon arising
from the tables, paper roses, filled
with confetti, were passed to the
guests, it being understood that Mr..
and Mrs. Woodson were preparing for
their journey, and would, in few
moments, pass out by way of che
main stairway. The time heightened
and some one threw handful of cen
fetti at ais neighbor and then pande-
monium reigned. In five minutes there
was only very small amount of the
little pieces OF paper that he'd not
reached the floor. 1t was the general
opinion that the bride and groo n had
quietly slipped away and were speed
ing to catch some train; but not SO,
for they soon appeared, as serene as if
only going out for a walk, the bride
wearing a tailored travelling suit of
blue. When part way down the stair
way the bride threw her bouquet at
the bridesmaids congregated in the
hallway, and Miss Eunice Hoefer be-
came its lucky possessor. Mr.. and
Mrs. Woodson then passed down
through the passage way made for
them; very little confetti was thrown,
but instead, sincere words of farewell
were said. When they reached the
enclosed walk, an automobile drove up
in charge of John Schwister, and
there was a rush for its open door
which closed with O. bang upon it's
occupants, and the Car shot off into
the night, its destination none knew
with the exception, perhaps, of the
parents. It was afterwards learned
that they drove to Merrill, and on the
following morning went up to the
Kreutzer cottage ON Plum lake, where
they were Joined Thursday morning
by the attending young people, and
together they will enjoy an outing of
about two weeks on the shores of that
beautiful lake, where they all spent
a similar length of time one year ago.
Thus ended an event that will ever
be remembered by those present for
its beauty, the completeness of it's
every detail, and the enjoyment it
gave all to witness the embarkment
of this young couple upon the matri-
monial sea, on a day that was tran
guilty itself and that was never
graced with bluer sky and as full of
sunshine as all hoped their lives would
be in their new relations.
The bride is the only daughter of
the Hon. and Mrs. Cyrus G. Yawkey
of this city, who are very widely
known, more especially in the Wiscon-
sin river valley, where Mr.. Yawkey
has long had varied and extensive
numbering, banking, paper and other
interests. The PILOT cannot write of
her in the various walks of life
in her home city except in
Superlatives and all that might
be said would be inadequate to
express the very high regard and
esteem in which she is held by those
who know her, suffice it to say she is
deserving of the fullest measure of
happiness. That her home is to be
elsewhere is source of deep regret
to ALL

Mo-, where they will be at home to
