A MOST PRETTY YULETIDE WEDDING

EMMA M. FISCHER MARRIED TO IRWIN J. CROSS

Bride is a Teacher in the School of Music-Groom is a Sophomore Medical Student

One of the prettiest home weddings of the winter took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fischer, on First st. Thursday evening, when their daughter, Emma M. Fischer, was united in marriage to Irwin J. Cross, Bangor, in the presence of the family, the members of the Bethlehem church choir and the faculty of the School of Music, of which Miss Fischer is a member.

At 6 o'clock the wedding party entered the parlor to the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March and took their places before a screen of palms and vines which made a beautiful background.

Rev. Mr. Neumann performed the beautiful German double-ring service which made the couple husband and wife.

Miss Fischer was charmingly gowned in white crepe de chene over white silk, elaborately tucked and trimmed in chiffon applique and pearl trimming, and carried white roses. Her bridesmaid, Miss Ada B. Cross, sister of the groom, wore white silk, trimmed in white ribbons.

The groom was attended by Fred Fischer, Jr., brother of the bride.

After the congratulations were given the newly wedded pair, the company sat down to a dainty wedding supper, which was served in the school room, which had been elaborately draped in white and green bunting and given a Christmas air by an abundance of holly, mistletoe and evergreen. In this room two long tables were spread, the bride's table being beautifully trimmed in white roses, smilax and holly. The other table was trimmed in pink carnations and smilax.

Mrs. Cross is one of Ann Arbor's most talented young ladies. She is a graduate of the Ann Arbor High School and of the University School of Music. She spent last winter in Vienna studying under the great Leschetiszke. who was the teacher of Paderewski. While abroad Mrs. Cross won the highest praise from the audiences before whom she played. On her return to this city last fall, she accepted a position in the University School of Music as teacher of the piano. She has been a great favorite here when she has appeared on the programs of the faculty concerts.

Mr. Cross was graduated with the class of '98 at Oberlin with the degree of A. B. He is now a member of the '04 medical class of the U. of M.

Mr. and Mrs. Cross left for a western trip and will be gone for a couple of weeks after which time they will be at home at 109 N. Thayer street.

The couple have a host of friends, who showered them with beautiful gifts and good wishes for a happy future.

Among the out of town guests were Mr. Thos. Cross and Miss Ada Cross, of Bangor, Mr. and Mrs. Irving H. Welch, of Platte, S. D., Mr. Kappis and Miss Kappis, of Marshall, Oluf Peterson of Milwaukee, Mrs. Hudnutt of Albion.
