Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, January 7, 1909
From McWilliams.
  A wedding of much interest was solemnized at the Methodist Church on the 
afternoon of Tuesday, December the 22nd, when Mr. Will W. Garrette led to 
hymens altar Miss Maggie Mae Roberts.
  The church was beautifully and artistically decorated with smilax and potted 
ferns, the blinds were lightly closed for the occasion and the church was 
illuminated by gas lights which served to make it more attractive. While 
waiting for the wedding party to arrive two appropriate songs, "As Long As The 
World Rolls On" and "I Love You Truly" were rendered by Mrs. L. W. Hardy of 
Schuster. Promptly at the appointed time to the strains of the wedding march by 
Mrs. Hardy, the bridal party entered preceded by the ushers, Drs. W. P. and J. 
W. Roberts Messrs G. L. Brantly and Roscoe Roberts. Up the right aisle came the 
groom with his best man Mr. G. E. Kyser, while up the opposite aisle came the 
bride leaning gracefully on the arm of her sister Mrs. G. L. Brantley. They 
passed under an arch on either side and meeting at the altar the bride was 
transferred from her sister to the groom.
  The impressive words which made them one were spoken by Rev. R. A. Foster of 
Pine Apple.
  The bride wore a tailored suit of green with hat to match and carried a 
shower boquet of green ferns and white carnations.
  The groom is a prosperous young man with sterling business qualities. The 
bride is amiable attractive and loved by all who know her. The happy pair were 
the recipient of many handsome and useful presents.
  Immediately after the ceremony they departed for their future home, amid 
showers of congratulations. We wish for them prosperity, peace and happiness.

Additional Comments:
Note: There was a conflict in the spelling of the groom's last name between the 
two newspaper articles (Garrett or Garrette).
