IN THE BONDS OF MATRIMONY

Miss Christine M. Lilley United to Carl H. Breed

PRETTY NUPTIAL SERVICE

Of Episcopal Church Made the Young Couple Man and Wife—Gone on Wedding Journey

 

St Andrew's church was the scene of a very pretty wedding Tuesday at 7 o'clock p. m., when Miss Christine M. Lilley and Mr. Carl Hedges Breed, of Medina, N. Y., were united in marriage by the Rev. Henry Tatlock.

 

The church was beautifully decorated with white and green. Five arches were erected over the center aisle and under these the bridal party passed. These arches were entwined with myrtle and pink roses, while at the base of each were fastened large white peonies tied with graceful bows of tulle.

 

The chancel rail was gracefully festooned with garlands of pink roses and the altar was massed with white blossoms, making a beautiful background for the bridal party.

 

At promptly 7 o'clock the vested choir entered the chancel, singing the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin. The bridal procession was led by the ushers, Robert W. Clarke, of Medina, Harry Brown, Clarence and Walter Vanghan; following them came the the bridesmaids, Misses Sybil Pettee, Clara Bean, Florence Green and Ethel Morris.

 

Next came the maid of honor, Miss Ruth Tuttle, of Niles, and then the bride, who walked alone. The groom And hls best man, Mr. Jesse W. Chapman, of Medina, met the wedding party at the foot of the chancel steps and there was read the simple and beautiful betrothal service, after which the party entered the chancel where the impressive Episcopal marriage service was read, Mr. Homer Luther, uncle of the bride giving her away. The ring used was the one which was worn as a wedding ring by the bride's mother.

 

During the reading soft music was played by Prof. Kempf, the Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana. While the party was passing to the chancel after the betrothal service, the choir sang Humphrey's hymn, "The Voice that breath'd o'er Eden." The Recessional Hymn was "O Perfect Love," by Barnaby, followed by Mendelssohn's Wedding March.

 

The bride looked charming in her wedding gown of white plaited chiffon over taffeta, en train, trimmed in rose point lace and pearls. Fastened in her bodice was a superb diamond sunburst, the gift of the groom. Her veil was gracefully held in place by a small bunch of orange blossoms and she carried a shower bouquet of lilies of the valley.

 

The maid of honor wore a beautiful gown of white Brussels lace over taffeta with appliques of Duchess lace. In her hair she wore a graceful wreath of tiny white rosebuds.

 

The four bridesmaids each wore dainty gowns of white lace over white taffeta with long sashes of dainty green caught with rosettes and chous of the same color on the bodices of their gowns. They each carried bouqnets of white carnations.

 

At 8 o'cIock a wedding supper was served at the home of the bride's grandmother, Mrs. J. M. Wheeler, Huron st., to the wedding party.

 

The house was artistically decorated with a profusion of fragrant flowers. In the hall where the bride and groom received congratulations the decorations were of asparagus plumosis and pink roses. In the dining room where the supper was served the decorations were in the green and white color scheme which was used at the church.

 

The bride is a charming young woman of many accomplishments. She spent two years in the University and for the past year has been visiting with her aunt, Mrs. Luther, in Medina, N. Y. The groom, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Breed, is a prominent young business man of Medina, N. Y., being connected with the National Bank of that place.

 

Mr. and Mrs. Breed will be at home to their friends in Medina, N. Y., after September 1.
