Ryan-Stewart Wedding

RYAN-STEWART WEDDING

A Very Pretty Wedding on Washington Street

WELL MATCHED COUPLE

Who Have Hosts of Ann Arbor Friends Married in the Presence of Many Guests

One of the prettiest of summer weddings took place Tuesday evening when Miss Amy Ryan was united in marriage to Mr. Earle B. Stewart at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Ryan, 823 W. Washington street. At eight o'clock while the Mendelssohn wedding march was being played soft and low on the piano by Miss Gertrude Sadler, accompanied by Walter Riebling with the violin, the bridal party descended the smilax-draped stair. Little Miss Julia Schmidt and Ethel Lougheed, looking very pretty in their dainty silk frocks of pink and green, led the way scattering sweet peas. Miss Ella Longlin in a gown of white mull carrying pink carnations, followed with the best man, Mr. Bert Johnson. Lastly came the bridal couple. The bride was most lovely carrying white bride's roses and gowned in white sil crepe de chene over taffeta, her only ornament being a sunburst of rubies and pearls, the gift of the groom. The party passed through the hall into the back parlor to an arch of green and white with a background of palms. Beneath this Rev. Edward S. Ninde read the ring service which united the happy couple.

After the ceremony, while the hundred guests were paying their respects to Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, Fischer's orchestra played. The room in which refreshments were served was very uniquely decorated. The base of the walls were bright with golden glow, above which were evergreens extending over the entire surface with a background of white. From the chandeliers festoons of smilax fell.

The many and beautiful presents received would tell the great esteem in which these young people were held by their hosts of friends. Miss Ryan was a very popular young lady, having made a host of friends in the few years she has resided here. For the past two years she has been employed as stenographer at the Richmond & Backus printing office. Mr. Stewart is one of Ann Arbor's most enterprising and promising young business men. For a number of years he was employed in the store of E. F. Mills. At present he is managing the Crescent Works with great success.

Mr. and Mrs. Stewart left last evening on a trip to Mackinac and other northern resorts. Mrs. Stewart's going-away gown was of tan voile over taffeta with hat and gloves to match. After October 1 the young people will be at home to their friends at 517 E. Washington street.

The out-of-town guests present were Miss Gertrude Sadler of Detroit, Mr. and Mrs. J. Schmidt and daughter Julia, Nelson Stevens, Miss Alvina Sadler and Parmetta and Walter Riebling, all of Detroit; E. Bert Stuart, Brighton, Misses Minnie and Birdie Schumacher of Chelsea, Mr. and Mrs. John Ryan of Columbus and Miss Emma Brown of Lansing.
