The Wedding
One of the Most Beautiful Brides
Griffin Has Ever Seen
Beautiful Decorations and Solemn Ceremony

The wedding of Miss Effie Dickenson to Mr. Jackson Garland last night was an 
occasion that filled the Baptist church to its utmost limits with the many 
friends and admirers of the bride and groom. The church was adorned with four 
arches of evergreen and holly, and the bride and groom faced the audience, with 
the attendants ranged on either side, forming a beautiful semi-circle. Shortly 
after the appointed hour the ceremony took place, and was performed in a very 
impressive manner by Rev. F.M. Daniel. The bride was dressed in white silk, with 
orange blossoms and long veil, and was one of the most exquisitely lovely 
pictures we have ever seen. The bridesmaids were also attired in white silk, 
full dress, and presenting an imposing array of beauty. They were Misses Bessie 
Mills, Mary Burr, Ione Hammond, Annie Bates, Hattie Head, Ora Boyd, Mary Niles 
and Eunice Green. The groomsmen were Will Davis, Allen Bates, Lewis Niles, F.G. 
Bailey, Henry Amos, Bird Garland, Arthur Stewart and Otis Couch, all attired 
like the groom, in Prince Alberts.

After the ceremony an elegant reception was held at the residence of the bride's 
mother, which was attended by many invited guests until a late hour. The 
presents were numerous and elegant.
