HYMENEAL
BROWN - MOORE
A very pretty house wedding took place at the Baptist parsonage, Delhi, August 27th. The contracting parties were Rev. Wm. H. J. Brown, youngest son of Mr. Benajor Brown, of Brownsville, and Miss Bessie Moore, B. A., only daughter of Rev. J. B. Moore. The marriage was celebrated at high noon, and was performed by the father of the bride in the presence of only the immediate relatives of both families. While the wedding march was being played by Mrs. W. H. Moore the groom entered the living room, supported by Mr. Harry Moore and followed by Mr. W. H. Moore, barrister, of Toronto, supporting his sister, the bride, who gave her away. Mrs. J. J. Mott, of Toronto, aunt of the bride, acted as matron of honor. It was a solemn and pretty scene as the bridal pair stood beneath a beautiful arch formed with evergreens and a background of asparagus ferns, all tastefully decorated with flowers, and a large floral ball hanging just above them. The bride was handsomely gowned with a fawn crepe de chene over pink taffetta with pink trimmings. She carried in her hand a shower bouquet of pink and white roses. After the ceremony there was an adjournment to the dining-room for luncheon. The room was nicely decorated and the table well spread with rich viands, fruits and flowers.
The bride was made the recipient of costly and well-selected presents. Her going-away gown was a handsomely made tailor suit of brown ladies' cloth, with white silk waist and white felt hat with brown wings and velvet trimmings. At three o'clock the bridal pair amid showers of rice boarded the Wabash train for Buffalo and eastern points. On their return they will live in Brownsville, where the bridegroom is the popular pastor of the church in the home of his childhood. All join in best wishes for the future happiness and usefulness of the bridal couple.
