FORTIER -- MAILLETTE

Married.

FORTIER -- MAILLETTE. - On Monday, April 27, 1885, at St. Francis of Assium's 
Church, Ascension parish, La., by Rev. F. X. Ceuppens, Mr. James L. Fortier to 
Miss Ludivine Maillette, both of this parish.

A large number of the friends of this handsome and universally esteemed young 
couple accompanied them to the church to witness the marriage ceremony and 
assembled at the bride's residence thereafter to tender congratulations, paatake 
(sic) of an elegant spread of refreshments and bid the happy pair good-by upon 
their departure for New Orleans by the evening train. The affair was one of the 
most delightful character. The lovely appearance of the bride at the altar and 
the manly bearing of the handsome groom excited much admiring comment. They were 
attended by Miss Lucile Braud as bridesmaid and Mr. Felix Fortier, brother of 
the groom, as groomsman, and the attention attracted by the attendants was only 
secondary to that bestowed upon the principals. The reception at the Maillette 
residence was a brilliant one. Toasts to the newly married couple were offered 
and most heartily received, and innumerable wishes for their future happiness 
were expressed by their assembled friends. At 3 P.M., they entered a carriage 
and proceeded to the depot, whence they departed for New Orleans on the 3:12 
train intending to spend the balance of the week in that city. They have been 
the recipients of a numerous collection of valuable and useful gifts, which 
attest the high regard entertained for them by a large circle of friends. The 
groom has been employed as bookkeeper for the house of Messrs. Bernard Lemann & 
Bro., for a number of years and is known as one of the most competent and 
reliable young business men in the community. He is deserving of a capital prize 
in the matrimonial lottery and we believe he has won it in the person of his 
lovely and accomplished bride. May their lives be blessed beyond their brightest 
anticipations is the wish of the sincere friend who pens these lines.
