Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, August 27, 1908
A Pretty Home Wedding.
  On Wednesday evening the 19th inst., the relatives and friends of Mr. and 
Mrs. Frank Tait were gathered to witness the marriage of their niece, Miss 
Julia G. Arrington to Mr. I. D. Huston. The home was beautifully decorated for 
the occasion, green and white being the predominating colors.
  The spacious parlor and dining room were thrown into one, and promptly at 
8:30 Mrs. Carrie Bryant, assisted by Mr. A. C. Bryant begun the wedding march. 
From behind the curtains appeared two sweet young girls, Bernice Stiggins and 
Bessie Daves, and gracefully held the curtains aside. Miss Alice Arrington, the 
only attendant entered from the dining room, the bride and groom following, 
meeting Rev. J. P. Sanders, just beneath a beautiful arch formed of smilax and 
geraniums where he impressively pronounced them man and wife. The sweet young 
bride never looked lovlier. She wore white Chiffon and carried a bouquet of 
roses. Congratulations followed, all the while sweet music being rendered by 
Mr. Bryant. The bride wishing her friends good luck tossed her bouquet in the 
air; it was caught by a fair young maid. The bride's cake was then cut. Miss 
Helen Tait getting the heart; Mr. Purnell Strother the ring; Mr. John Arrington 
the dime, but the straw - it could never be found. The punch bowl being almost 
hidden in a bank of green, was presided over by four beautiful little girls, 
Virginia Stiggins, Dovie Vass, Mary Vaudevoort and Mary Tait.
  Quite a lot of handsome presents attested the good wishes of relatives and 
friends.
  Mr. and Mrs. Huston left on Thursday for a few days' visit in Mobile, thence 
on to Nebraska, where Mr. Huston takes charge of a school.
