The home was beautifully decorated, green and white predominating at the arch and scene of the ceremony. A white lattice work with arches covered with buds and ferns and palms banked on each side, presented a frame of brilliant green and white that waited the coming of the bridal party to complete the picture of beauty which will remain long in the minds of the many who witnessed the impressive ceremony.
The many guests and relatives arrived promptly at the appointed hour. The prelude was played with Mrs. Fred Lane, a sister of the bride, at the piano. Just before the arrival of the wedding party Mrs. Paul Everly, of Hamilton, sang beautifully, "O Promise Me." Her remarkable voice filled the home with the strains of the melody. At the close of this solo came the strains Lohengrin Wedding March and the wedding procession began. The bride and the bridegroom met at the alter and while soft strains of the Mendelssohn March rang out and the wedding party moved from the altar. All of those in attendance united in the declaration that they had seldom witnessed a more beautiful or impressive ceremony.
