A Pretty Wedding.
WEATHERFORD—SIMS—At the home of the bride’s parents at Granger, Minn., Mr. and Mrs. John Sims, Mr. Claude Weatherford, and Miss Nellie A. Sims, Rev. J. B. Smith, officiating.
Promptly at 8:15 the beautiful strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march were most effectively rendered by the groom’s sister Miss Weatherford of Frankford, Missouri, and the bridal party, led by two dainty little misses in white, one carrying a beautiful basket of flowers and the other bearing the wedding ring on a white satin pillow, appeared and took their places beneath a beautiful canopy arch composed of ferns, asparagus and choice garden flowers of the season, where they were met by Rev. Smith who performed the pretty wedding service.
The bride was attired in a gown of white silk chiffon over white silk, and was enveloped in a full, flowing veil and wore roses. She was attended by the Misses Robinson and Sovereign. The g o >m wore the conventional black and was attended by Mr. John Stevens.
After the wedding service the guests adjourned to the dining room where a full three-course supper was served to them. The table was in the form of an immense horse shoe, and was prettily decorated and arranged, befitting the occasion.
The spacious residence of Mr. and Mrs. Sims was a thing of beauty, the whole house on the interior being profusely decorated with ferns and flowers of the season.
Of the newly wedded couple it is our pleasure to speak. The bride, though a resident of Granger, is well and favorably known to the majority of Cresco people, and possesses all those womanly graces and qualities that make the model wife and companion. The groom has been a resident of Cresco for about three years, having a position as marble cutter with J. B. Barber. He is an industrious, reliable young man and has made for himself numerous friends with whom the PLAIN DEALER joins in extending best wishes to Mr. Weatherford and his bride.
