VIENNA  PROGRESS June 26, 1902
                            AN OLD FASHION WEDDING
   A beautiful marriage was solemnized in Undailla, GA. on the 81th inst., at
the home of Mr. & Mrs. John A. Carroll; their eldest daughter, Zeph, to Robert
Madison Harman, of Chipley, Ga. There were about one hundred guests present, and
every one seemed to enter into the spirit of good will of the occasion.
     Yes, it was an old-fashion home wedding, because the grandmas and grandpas
were conspicuous by their presence and not by their absence; and because the
elegant supper was gotten up on such a magnificent and generous scale, such as
used to be seen in southern homes in antebellum times.
     As King Arthur would have said, the table fairly groaned 'neath the burden
of good things.
     The lovely Carol home was beautifully decorated with palms, smilax and
flowers.
     The bridal party wound itself gracefully down the stairway into the large
reception hall, where the ceremony was performed in Mr. Bass' happiest manner.
     First came Lessie, the little sister of the bride, with their cousins,
Annie Kate Clewis, next the other sister, Miss Smithye, accompanied by Mr. Key
of Chipley; then the bride and groom. The latter was handsome in the usual suit
of black, while the bride, in her girlish beauty, was fair to look upon. Her
suit, which was of some soft clinging material, was a lovely creation that
became well it's fair wearer. She carried a shower bouquet of white carnations
and the same fastened on her veil.
     The bride is a girl who is much loved throughout the whole community, and
her popularity was attested by the many handsome presents received.
     The next morning, accompanied by Misses Carroll and Clewis, the happy pair
tool their departure for their new home, with showwers of blessings, of rice and
of good wishes.
     May God make their lives one long, happy unity, and at last round them into
an eternal felicity.
