A very pretty wedding occurred Wednesday evening, June 10, at the home of Mrs. Carrie K. Stabler, 709 Pine street N., Lansing, when her daughter, Jessie Vena, and Dr. Austin F. Burdick, were united in marriage by Rev. W.A. Frye. After the rendering of the solo, "O Promise Me," by Mrs. Roy Moore, Mendelssohn's wedding march was played by Miss Lydia Betz. The bridal party entered the parlors at 7:30, led by little Bessie Turner, niece of the groom, acting as flower girl. Then followed the maid of honor, Miss Genevieve Allen, formerly of Ann Arbor, and bridesmaid, Miss Henrietta Betz. Next came Master Rex Clark, bearing the ring in the petals of a white rose, and last the bride and groom. 

The party took their places in front of a bank of palms, under an arch, in the center of which hung the wedding bell, where the ceremony took place.

After the ceremony congratulations were received and a dainty supper was served by Miss Alta Stabler, sister of the bride, Miss Flossie Waite and Miss Erma Brown.

The bride was very becomingly attired in white wash chiffon and carried white roses.

The bridesmaids were in white and carried pink carnations.

The flower girl and ring bearer were also in white.

The decorations in the parlors and dining room were pink and white.

The couple were the recipients of many beautiful as well as useful gifts. 

The bride and groom are both well and favorably known here, Dr. Burdick being a member of the class of '02, and they both have the best wishes of a warm circle of friends.

The couple had made their plans well, but did not escape the vigilance of their friends, who after watching all trains outwitted and caught them at the Grand Trunk depot.

The happy couple left on the midnight train for Chicago, amid shouts and showers of rice and old shoes.

Dr. and Mrs. Burdick, after their return, will reside in Webberville for the present.
