The Gunnison Empire.
Tuesday, August %, 1928, dawned
clear and bright, happy omen for
the happy young folks who at high
noon were to be made one.
The wedding of this popular young
couple, Miss Elizabeth Nourse, only
daughter of E. M. Nourse, of Gunni-
son, and Mr.. H. Thurston Hatch, old
er son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harlow T..
Hatch, of Des Moines, Iowa, was SOL
emnized at the Episcopal church, Rev.
Geiser officiating.
The pretty little church was a
bower Of floral beauty when, a few
minutes before the appointed hour
for the ceremony, large number of
invited guests were seated by the
ushers, Hugh Palmer, Donald Hatch,
and Burtis Adams.
Miss Helen Hatch sang Because
God Gave Me to You," with Miss Mar
garet Collins at the organ. Miss Col
Inns played the wedding march to
which the bridal party entered.
The groom, attended by Mr.. T. A.
Nourse entered and awaited at the
altar the coming of the bride and her
attendants. Miss Norma Collins,
bridesmaid, preceded the party up
the aisle. The bride followed on the
arm of her father, who gave her away.
The beautiful and solemn ring GER
emony was used in joining the happy
young couple.
After the ceremony the wedding
party retired to the rectory, where an
informal reception was held for the
many friends, who came to wish them
happiness and prosperity. On emerg-
ing from the church the newlyweds
were showered with rice.
At the Nourse home delicious
wedding luncheon had been prepared
to which the members of the family
sat down at one O'clock.
The brides wedding gown was of
white silk crepe de chene, over white
satin, and she was indeed beautiful
bride in her white gown with bridal
veil and orange blossoms, carrying
bouquet of white roses.
The bridesmaid, Miss Norma Col
Inns, wore handsome gown of orchid
crepe de chene, with silver lace hat
and silver cloth shoes. She carried
pink roses and was a pretty picture
of girlish loveliness.
The groom and his attendants wore
conventional black
The wedding was one of the pret-
tiest ever witnessed in the city and
the popularity of Mr.. and Mrs. Hatch
is attested by the large number of
handsome and valuable presents show
cred up on them.
After the serving of lunch and the
cutting of the beautiful wedding
cake, the handiwork of the brides
grandmother, Mrs. Lizzie Brown, the
young folks donned travelling togs
and departed on their honeymoon trip
for Denver and other points on the
east slope. They are making the trip
in new Chevrolet car, the gift to
them of the brides father
We note with pleasure that Mr..
Hatch will be employed for this year
in the Crested Butte schools, which
insures that this popular couple will
continue to reside with us for pc
riod, at least. The bride was born in
Gunnison, grew up here and developed
into one of those good, wholesome
Young women who are so generally
loved and esteemed. 1t would be very
depressing to her wide circle OF
friends were she to at once remove to
some distant point.
May they live long, prosper and be
happy, is the wish of the Empire and
the host of friends throughout the
entire county.
