Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, June 20, 1907
A Pretty Wedding.
  The following account of a wedding at Arlington was sent in by our 
correspondent, too late for last weeks' issue:
  One of the most simple yet beautiful weddings of the season was solemnized at 
the Presbyterian church at Arlington, Ala., Wednesday evening, June fifth, when 
Mr. George Henry Slade led to the hymeneal alter Miss Alma Elizabeth Dickson. 
Before the bridal party entered, Miss Leila Fisher rendered sweet strains of 
music, and "I Love Thee," was sang in a soft metallic voice by Rev. Crawford. 
The bridal party entered as Mendelshon's wedding march was rendered, under the 
skillful touch of Miss Fisher, who was gowned in black silk. The ushers came 
first, Mr. Peytan Finch up the left aisle and Mr. Sam Pritchett the right one; 
then came the bridesmaid, Miss Kittie Williamson, gowned in a beautiful white 
lingerie and carrying a boquet of white roses; the groomsman, Mr. Bettis Slade, 
met her there. Then came the little flower girls, Lorene and Josephine Dickson, 
dressed in white silk and carrying baskets of rose petals, which they scattered 
in front of the bride and groom. The groom came in on the arm of his best man, 
Mr. Robert Dickson, brother of the bride. The bride, gowned in a white radium 
silk, with point d esprit and veil of tulle, caught with orange blossoms and 
carrying a beautiful boquet of brides' roses and maiden-hair fern, came slowly 
up the right aisle, leaning on the arm of her maid of honor, Miss Mamie 
Dickson, gowned in white silk with Irish lace and carrying a boquet of pink 
roses. They were met at the alter by Rev. Cross, where, standing under an arch 
of two beautiful golden hearts, in a few impressive words, their hearts were 
made to beat in unison. After receiving the congratulations and best wishes of 
their many friends, they repaired to the home of Mrs. McClellan, where the 
bride changed her gown for a traveling suit of gray, with hat and gloves to 
match. They left, amid a shower of rice, on the eleven o'clock train for their 
wedding tour. When they return they will be at home to their friends at 
Lamison, Ala., where the groom is engaged in business with Nimrod, McKay Lumber 
Co. The bride is one of Arlington's most popular young ladies, being the second 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Dickson.
  They were the recipients of many beautiful presents, which attested to their 
popularity, and many best wishes are wafted these two young people.
  The out-of-town guests were Misses Addie and Mamie Dickson, Nellie and Mattie 
Carter and Kettie Williamson, and Messrs. Benard Williamson and Arnold Cook.
                               Amicus.
