Double Wedding Wednesday

The Misses Storms Wedded Mid Daises And Palms

Happy Event at Home of E. J. Storms--Couples Spending the Week in Detroit

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin J. Storms was the scene of a very unusual but most beautiful sight Wednesday evening when their two daughters, Sadie and Bessie, were wedded to Dr. Ernest Wright and Mr. Judd Matthews. The brides are both widely known in this city and have a host of loving friends who will wish all the happiness possible in their new relations. Miss Sadie Storms for the past two years, has occupied the position of society reported on the Argus, and has won the respect and well wishes of not only her employers, but of all with whom her work brought her in contact.

Dr. Ernest Wright is a prominent physician in Conneaut, Ohio, and is a graduate of the University of Cleveland. Mr. Judd Matthews is a graduate of the '01 law class and is now a member of the law firm of Matthews & Matthews, of Chicago.

The ceremony was performed at 7 o'clock before the double windows in the front parlor. After the bridal party had taken its place, Miss Louise Stretch sand in exceptionally sweet tones "O Promise Me," Miss Minnie Davis playing the accompaniment. Marguerites and ferns in great profusion decorated the parlor. Before the double window hung a curtain of daises and at the base were banks of palms.

Rev. E. S. Ninde read the full Episcopal service, which had been arranged especially for the double wedding. During the ceremony Miss Davis played softly the Intermezzo from "Cavaliera Rusticana."

Both brides were dressed in their traveling gowns, Miss Sadie wearing a dark brown broadcloth with waist of white crepe de chene. Miss Bessie was gowned in tan colored broadcloth with a waist of white crepe de chene. Two prettier brides could not be found.

After the sixty-five guests who were present had paid their respects to the happy couples, the parents of the brides led the way to the dining room through the back parlor, which was artistically decorated with ferns and nasturtiums. The dining room was lovely with pink and white sweet peas. A most magnificent candelabrum with pink candles at the base of which sweet peas were banked, formed the center piece for the table. Misses Rena Stofflet, Belle Murphy of Detroit, Martha Hurd and Mabel Benham assisted in the dining room, while Miss Bertha Eldert took charge of the punch bowl. In their gowns of dainty material they looked very pretty flitting about among the guests. Miss Louise Stretch again delighted all with her song, "Love, It is Morn."

The presents which were most beautiful and costly were displayed in the alcove. There were a large number, bespeaking the love and best wishes of many friends.

Both couples left on the 9:30 train for Detroit, where after spending a few days they will return to Ann Arbor. From here Dr. and Mrs. Wright will leave for a lake trip returning to their future home in Conneat, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Matthews will go to Mr. Matthews' old home in Logansport, Ind., after which they will go to their home in Chicago.

The out-of-town guests were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Shank of Dixboro, Mrs. Harriet Taylor of Englishville, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Norton of Detroit, Mr. and Mrs. William Ruthruff of Detroit, Miss Alice Case of Jackson, Miss Belle Murphy of Detroit, Miss Mae Ruthruff of Fargo, N. Dakota; Dr. Clinton Wright of Detroit, Dr. A. O. Miller of Freeport, Ohio, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Amerman of Ypsilanti.
