Rorebeck-NelsOn
Tampa Times, End: Today at high
noon Miss Ruth Nelson, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. K. Nelson, of Tampa,
and Capt. Curtis Rorebeck, u. S. A,
were united in marriage in the pres
ence of relatives and a few intimate
friends only.
The wedding was one of the pref
tiest which has occurred in the city
in some time. 1t was surrounded
with much interest, as the bride and
groom are both well known and pop
ular with large circle of friends.
Pink and lavendar were the chosen
colors and these were beautifully in
termingled with a profusion of as
paragus fern and handsome potted
plants, making a most artistic and
attractive setting for the bridal
party. The reception hall, large living
room and the parlor of the Nelson
residence at Ill Hyde Park Place are
connected by broad double doorways,
and were decorated lavishly. As
paragus fern entwined the woodwork
and stair railing and fluffy festoons
of the fern draped the chandeliers of
each room. Large clusters of the
pink and lavender asters were used
at every available point, and inter-
spersed the fern drapery on the
chandeliers.
Preceding the ceremony a beauti-
full musical progress was rendered by
Mrs. James A. Mckay, piano; Miss
Bessie Moffatt, violin, and Miss Es-
telle Byrd, soloist. The numbers were
beautifully rendered, each lady be-
ing a talented musician. The selec-
tions chosen for this mornings we'd
ding were:
Romance" (Wieniawski), Mrs.
Mckay, Miss Moffatt.
'To You" (Oley Speaks), Miss Es-
telle Byrd.
"Abendlieb" (Schumann), Mrs. Nc
Kay, Miss Moffatt
"Dawning" (Cadman), Miss Byrd.
"An Idyl' (Robert Kramer), Mrs.
Mckay, Miss Moffatt.
At the appointed hour of the we'd
ding the strains of the wedding march
were heard and the bridal party de-
scended the stairs, taking their places
in the parlor, where Rev. John Gra-
ham of Brooksville, cousin of the
bride, performed the impressive cere-
mony.
AS the bridesmaids descended the
sairs in couples, each couple received
floral arch of lavendar and pink in
tertwined with pink and green, from
the two little sisters of the bride,
Misses Elizabeth and Virginia Mel
son. The little girls wore dainty white
lingerie dresses, made in high waist
design, and their ribbons were pink.
The bridesmaids wore charming
frocks of white lingerie with pink
and lavender jackets, and their hats
were white, trimmed in the color
which matched the jacket work. The
wedding procession from the stair to
the altar was very lovely and the
floral arches which the girls carried
in place of the usual bouquets, made
an unusual and very lovely feature.
The bridesmaids were three sisters
of the bride-Misses Emma, Edna
and Nellie Nelson-and Miss Phillis
Carnes, Miss Fannie Lawrence, Miss
Mary Adams, Miss Harriet Q Larner
and Miss Marion Harvey.
| Following them came the bride,
who wore a handsome costume of
cream-tinted satin charmeuse, fash
ioned with graceful long train, and
lace and dainty pearls. Her veil was
charmingly draped, and she carried a
handsome bouquet of brides roses
and valley lilies, formed the shower.
The bride is a dainty type and she
was more than usually charming in
her wedding robes.
Master Bobbie Bahrt, wearing a
suit of white, was the important little
/ train-bearer. AS the bridal party
took their places, little Misses Eliza
beth and Virginia Nelson carried
ropes of asparagus fern and pink and
4 idNeHueT SlFedHleTS 20 the alIar, con-
Meeting the arches and encircling the
wedding party. The groom had no
attendant, meeting the bride at the
altar.
After the young couple had receiv-
ed the many good wishes and congrat-
ulations of their friends a charming
wedding breakfast was served in the
dining room, which was beautifully
decorated in white and green. The
brides table was centered with a
large cluster of white asters and the
chandelier above the table was en-
twined in a luxurious profusion of
fern with flowers and white maline
intermingled, streamers of the latter
extending TO the table. The place
cards were beautiful, handmade, and
they were the work of the brides
brother. These were unique and each
one bore some appropriate design or
inscription for the guest for which it
was intended. The pink and lavender
was carried out in pretty ways, the
