MISS AGNES McKUNE MARRIED TO DENNIS B. HAYES

Early Morning Wedding at St. Mary's Church and a Bridal Trip to Europe

 

A very pretty wedding was solemnized at St. Mary's church, Chelsea, Wednesday morning, April 15, at 8 o'clock, when Mr. Dennis B. Hayes, of Detroit, was married to Miss Agnes McKune, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy McKune. The bridesmaid was Miss Alice Long, of Jackson, a cousin of the bride, and the best man was Mr. Herbert McKune, of Detroit, brother of the bride. Rev. W. P. Considine, pastor of the church, performed the wedding ceremony. The bride was dressed in a traveling suit of blue cloth. 

 

It was a gloomy morning outside, but the church was brilliantly lighted inside and with the beautiful Easter decorations, which were still intact, made a handsome appearance. During the celebration of the mass Miss Mary Clark, organist of the church, played soft music, which made it very impressive and beautiful. At different parts of the service solos were sung. Michael Barden, of SS. Peter and Paul's church choir, Detroit, sang 'Praise ye the Lord" and "O, Salutaris," Louis Burg sang an "Ave Maria," and Miss Margaret Hayes, sister of the groom, who is the leading soprano of St. Mary's church choir, Adrian, sang a hymn to the Sacred Heart at the time the bridal couple received the Holy Eucharist. 

 

On returning from the church an elegant wedding breakfast was served at the McKune home, for which Miss Nan Wilkinson did the catering. 

 

Those present from a distance were Henry Blackwell, Willard Pardridge, T. E. Tarsney, sr., T. E. Tarsney, jr., Michael Barden, Arthur O'Connor, Geo. Engle, Richard Lawson, Dr. Sullivan, J. J. Jones, Dr. W. A. Conlan, of Detroit; M. P. Bourke, of Lansing; Mrs. C. Hayes, the Misses Margaret and Mary Hayes, Niel B. Hayes, wife and daughter Dorothy, of Adrian; D. H. Hayes, of Chicago, and J. J. Hayes and wife, of Fort Wayne. 

 

Mr. and Mrs. Hayes left for New York, from whence they sail Saturday on the Cunard steamer Ivernia for a two months' tour of Europe. Showers of rice and the best wishes of all their friends accompanied them in their starting out on the journey of wedded life.
