LARAMORE-PRATT
Written for The Courier

Laramore Ranch" the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. L. Laramore,
was, on last Wednesday, the 10Th,
the scene of a beautiful wedding.
Their only son, Mr.. Edward Arnold
Laramore, was united in marriage
with Miss Sarah Mabel Pratt.
Both these young people are too
well and favorably known to require
further introduction. The prettily
decorated double parlors were early
filled with relatives and friends sum-
moned to bid a God-speed to the
young pair entering upon LIES
journey together.
At half past seven the bridal
party entered the parlors to the
strains of Mendelssohn and, turning
at the further end under large
marriage bell, faced the assemblage,
thus, as the grand old march died
away, Offering a beautiful tableau.
The Rev. Mr.. Delepine, in we'll
chosen and impressive language,
performed the ceremony, using, in
part, the ring service. After con-
gratulations delightful supper was
served upon small tables. Quite a
feature of the occasion was the cut
ting of the wedding cake, survival
of a pretty old English custom,
among whom, in the long, long ago
the dizziness with which the bride
distributed her wedding cake was
considered indicative of her house
wifely accomplishments. This pre-
sent wedding cake was a beautiful
and delicious compound of sugar
and spice and everything nice, "
which was duly admired and enjoyed
by the guests.
The bride was charming in a
handsome costume of white silk
crepe. Her maid, Miss Heberlein,
cousin of the groom, was gowned in
blue silk meteor. MIR. Laramore
was supported by Mr.. Carroll Pratt,
brother of the bride.
Those present from a distance
were Mr.. and Mrs. Tofford (sister
of the bride) from International
Falls, Mimi, Mrs. Baughman, Mrs.
Cleveland and daughter, Miss Heb
erlein, all of Spokane. Space will
not suffice for full list of guests,
but Horse Heaven was well rep
resented together with many from
the valley.
The fortunate bride will begin
housekeeping amply supplied with
the most modern and approved con-
veniences for baking. brewing and
serving in addition to other hand
some gifts too numerous to mention
but fully demonstrating the pop
ularity of the young pair.
At twelve o'clock the happy
couple, almost overwhelmed by
showers of rice and good wishes, de-
parted for Kennewick where they
caught the two O'Clock train for
Portland. After several days in the
city, they will, for few weeks be
at home to their friends at Lara
