Wedding Bells.
One of the most delightful and enjoyable affairs of the season was the pretty home wedding
which occurred on Wednesday March 1st at the beautiful country home of Mr. and Mrs. Milton
Chapin about four and a half miles from Haven. In the presence of seventy guests, at high
noon, their youngest daughter, Wilda Augusta was united in marriage to Edward D. Mount.
Preceded by Miss Lida Moore and Mr. George Lenert, the bridal party entered the spacious
double parlors, to the strains of the wedding march played by Miss Eddie of Hutchinson,
and beneath an arch decorated for the occasion, Rev. Buck performed which made the young
people one for all time to come.
The bride was daintily gowned in white silk with bridal veil and carried a bouquet of
bride's roses. The groom was attired in conventional black. The bride's maid was
charming in a gown of white over pale yellow, and carried yellow roses. After the
ceremony and Mr. and Mrs. Mount had received the congratulations of their friends, the
guests were invited to the dining room where the wedding feast was spread.
In the dining room the colors pale yellow and white were in evidence throughout.
The bride's table was a picture of itself not only in the decorations, but also in the
goodies that were provided to satisfy the inner man. Long ropes of yellow and white crepe
paper were twined from each corner of the table and fastened together at the ceiling with
yellow and white roses, while here and there over the table large fern leaves were placed
their glossy greens contrasting beautifully with the snowy whiteness of the cloth.
The presents were numerous and valuable thus showing with what high esteem the young
people were held throughout the community.
The bride as stated before, is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chapin and in
describing her there is only one thing to be said to know her is to love her. The groom
is an enterprising young farmer and is to be congratulated on winning such a lovely girl
to be the queen of his home. Mr. and Mrs. Mount will reside on a farm south of Haven.
