Wedding Under Swaying Branches

The home of Major and Mrs. Harrison Soule was, Wednesday, the scene of a beautiful and impressive ceremony, being the wedding of their granddaughter,  Miss Jane Clark, daughter of Mr. and Mr. Lucias L. Clark, of N. Thayer street, to Mr. Henry Wood Berger, of Jackson.  Miss Clark Is one of Ann Arbor's most popular and talented young ladies. The groom is a former student of the University.

Wednesday morning Mr. and Mrs. Clark gave a wedding breakfast which covers were laid for 24 guests. The bridal table was strewn with pink sweet peas. 

The wedding was unique, being an out of door one and for simplicity and loveliness could not be surpassed. The bridal party, consisting of the bride leaning on the arm of her father, and the maid of honor, her sister, Miss Mary Clark bearing on a silver tray the wedding ring, made their way through the grape arbor. At the end of the arbor they were joined by the groom, attended by his best man, Mr. Nathan Potter, Jr., of Jackson.

The bride was lovely in her gown of white crepe de chene over white taffeta with a bertha of white point applique, one of her wedding gifts. In her hand she carried white roses. Scarcely less lovely was her sister, gowned in white silk mull.

Here amid ferns and flowers, where nature added a touch of loveliness. Rev. Mr. Gelston, of the Presbyterian church, read the sacred ring service which made the happy couple one. Only the most intimate friends and relatives witnessed the ceremony. A reception followed immediately, to which between two and three hundred guests were bidden. The rooms were artistically decorated with garlands of pink sweet peas. Refreshments were served In the dining room, where Mrs. Harry W. Douglas presided, assisted by Miss Gretchen Lydeeker and Miss Georgia Clark.

Many and beautiful were the gifts which bespoke the remembrance of warm and loving friends.
