Longmont Ledger (Longmont, Boulder County)
June 14, 1907
COOPER-COLBY--At the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. W. L. Page, at high noon, Wednesday, June 12, 1907, George Cooper and Miss Iva Colby, Rev. A. L. Chase officiating.
It was a very pleasant wedding. The decorations were roses and simlax. The bride was dressed in white silk and carried brides roses.
Mendelssohn's wedding march was played by Miss Josephine Baird as the couple entered and took their places. Miss Mae Page was the ring bearer and she did part very nicely.
The wedding present were very numerous and extremely nice.
After the ceremony was performed and the congratulations were over a very sumptuous xix course wedding breakfast was served.
The bride is well and favorably known in Longmont and Weld county, having taught school in Weld county for several years. She is an active worker in the M. E. church of which she is a member.
The groom is also well known in this vicinty, being an enterprising young farmer from near Liberty Hall.
The afternoon was spent in a very enjoyable way till time to take the 5:24 train for Colorado Springs, where they will spend two weeks.
The groom thought to avoid the shower of rice and old shoes by getting a closed cab to take him and his bride to the train. But that proved of no avail, as all the guests took rigs and followed. When the couple alighted the platform such a shower of rice as they received has seldom been witnessed in this city.
All wish Mr. and Mrs. Cooper the best of happiness through life.
The will return to Longmont and make this city their future home.
Among guests were Mrs. Alkins, of Eaton, Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Nye of Ault, Miss Josie Carr of Boulder and Mr. Brewe of Greeley.
