Griffin and Augusta United
The Wedding and Reception of Mr. and Mrs. George B. White

The Augusta Evening News gives the following account of the Griffin and Augusta 
marriage:

The hymeneal season was again pleasantly emphasized this morning, and Augusta 
furnishes a fair and lovely bride for a popular young business man from Griffin.

At the parsonage of St. John's Methodist church at 10 o'clock, Miss Florrie 
Richards Cook, daughter of Rev. Dr. Cook, was married to Mr. George B. White, 
and after the ceremony and congratulations the young couple left on the midday 
train of the Georgia road. Dr. Cook officiated and the bridegroom was 
accompanied by his friend, Mr. T.E. Drewry, also of Griffin. Mr. White is 
connected with a prominent banking institution in Griffin, and is highly 
esteemed by all who know him. Miss Cook is much admired and loved by her 
friends, and she has been a particular favorite during her brief residence in 
Augusta. About a score of intimate friends of the family were present at the 
ceremony this morning. An elegant reception will be tendered the young couple in

Griffin tomorrow evening by the groom's father.

The reception given by Mr. and Mrs. George B. White last night was a most 
elegant affair and was largely attended. The bride and groom looked happy and 
handsome in their wedding costumes and were overwhelmed with congratulations by 
their many friends. The News is of the opinion, which is showed also by the 
public, that both parties were prizes equal to the Louisiana lottery, and a 
hopes that they may live long to enjoy their good fortune.
