SCHWARZ-ROHDE.

Another pretty June wedding occurred Wednesday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Rohde, 600 W. Huron street, at which were united in marriage Miss Julia Schwarz and Dr. G. C. Rohde.

The bridal party entered the parlor at promptly 7 o'clock, as Miss Charlotte Rohde, sister of the groom, played the beautiful Lohengrin wedding march, and took their places before an arch of feathery asparagus and white peonies. Rev. John Neumann performed the beautiful Lutheran wedding ceremony, the service being entirely in German. Miss Pauline Rohde, sister of the groom, and Otto Andres attended the bride and groom.

The bride looked very sweet in her wedding gown of soft whate silk over taffeta. It was elaborately shirred and trimmed with embroidered chiffon. She carried an arm bouquet of bride's roses. The bridesmaid wore a beautiful gown of light blue silk mull, trimmed in lace, and carried white carnations.

After congratulations were given the newly wedded pair and guests were seated at a long table in the dining room, where a delicious wedding supper was served. The table was beautifully spread with dainty china and glass and on either end a tall vase filled with pink carnations was arranged. Pink roses were scattered over the cloth.

Mr. and Mrs. Rohde left on a late train for an eastern trip. On their return they will be at home to their friends at 101 N Ashley street.

The bride if a very popular young woman here, having spent a good deal of time here visiting friends during the past two years.

Dr. Rohde is a graduate of the Chicago Veterinary college and is most successful in his work.

A large number of presents were received by the bride and consisted of glass, silver, furniture and other useful articles.

DANFORTH-KINGINGER

One of the prettiest of June weddings was that which was solemnized at the Christian Memorial church on S. University avenue Wednesday evening, when Miss Beatrice E. Danforth, daughter of Mrs. Frances E. Danforth, became the wife of Walter W. Kinginger, of Newaygo.

The church presented a pretty sight when, at half past seven the bridal party entered to the beautiful strains of the Lohengrin wedding march, which was played by Miss Marna Clark. The pulpit was beautifully decorated with pink and white. White bunting was festooned gracefully with roses and dainty green. Palms, ferns, and great bunches of peonies and rses were massed about the edge of the pulpit.

The bridal party took their places in a semi-circle before the pulpit, where Prof. Coler performed the simple but impressive ceremony which united the lives of these young couple.

At the ceremony Miss Etolia Ferris sang a beautiful wedding hymn, "He Loveth," after which the bridal party left the church, the triumphant tones of Mendelssohn's Nuptial March sounding as the party walked down the aisle.

The bride was richly gowned in white crepe de chene over taffeta, elaborately shirred and trimmed in silk applique. She carried an arm bouquet of bride's roses. Little Fanita Ferris, gowned in a pretty fluffy white lawn, acted as ring bearer. Miss Sue Tribble acted as maid of honor and wore a beautiful gown of white Swiss mull over silk and carried pink roses. The bridesmaid, Miss Fannie Rule of Detroit, wore white organdie over pink and carried pink roses. John Tribble and Henry Danforth acted as attendants to the groom and Mr. Clifton Frazier and James Bentley as ushers.

Immediately after the ceremony a wedding supper was served to the wedding party and the relatives at the bride's home, 1314 S. University avenue. The table was prettily decorated in the same colors as the church, pink and white carnations and roses carrying out the color scheme.

Mr. and Mrs. Kinginer left last evening on a 9:30 train for an eastern trip. A reception will be given for them on their arrival at Nazareth, Pa., by the parents of the groom. They will be at home to their friends after July 15, at Newyago, Mich.

The bride is one of the most charming of Ann Arbor girls. She, with her mother, removed from Grand Rapids about five years ago and during her residence here, has been a student at the school of music.

Mr. Kinginger is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and has an excellent position as expert chemist of the Cement Co. in Newyago.

A host of friends extend their heartiest congratulations to this newly wedded couple.

A quiet wedding was celebrated Wednesday at the residence of the bride on Packard street, Mrs. Eva M. Allmendinger of the city being the bride and Mr. Robert Woolsey of Ypsilanti the groom. Only the immediate families of the couple were present at the ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. J. M. Gelston, with the beautiful ring service. They were the recipients of many useful and elegant presents, among which was a beautiful rose sofa pillow from the sister of the bride, Miss Mollie Seybold, and an equally beautiful oil painting of roses, done by her nephew, Myron H. Greaves of Grand Rapids. Mr. Woolsey is well known in Ypsilanti, where he has a trusty position with Cornwell Bros. for upwards of thirty years.
