A pretty home wedding was solemnized at the John Nicolay home on Schiller street last evening at 5 o'clock when Miss Christina Nicolay became the bride of True Green, the Rev. U.S. Smith officiating. The bridal couple were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Martin, the latter a sister of the bride.

The brides favored colors, blue and white, were effective in the decorations of the home. The ceremony was read beneath an improvised arch of blue and white cree paper, rose and asparagus fern, while festoonings of the favored colors were draped about the ceremony and dining rooms.

Immediately after the ceremony a wedding supper was served the guests more than one hundred relatives and friends of the contracting parties attending.

Mr. and Mrs. Green will go to housekeeping at once on Schiller street. The groom is employed by the O'Keefe Engineering company.
