If space permitted thi account
could be prolonged indefinitely with
stories of the pre-nuptial festivities
and the reception of the bridal party
at the BRIDES home on the evening of
the 18th. One incident of this good
bye hour was the catching of the
brides boquet tossed for fortune-tell-

her bridesmaids below Miss Katrina

more later. AS to the bridal pres
