May 4, 1889........ Carroll Banner newspaper: 

------------------------ HYMENIAL
---------------------- QUAYS-ZETTEL

One of the prettiest home weddings which has ever taken place in East
Carroll, was the marriage of Miss Mary Quays and Mr. Frederick Zettel on
the 25th of April, at the home of the bride's parents--Robertdale.

How the wedding bells do echo sweet tunes in the hearts of young and
old,
-----------------"All the world loves a lover;"
Therefore, the good people in the Bend were joyful and happy, at the
ceremony, which was to give their only young lady away, to a gentleman
of a distant State. The bride's girl friends had been busy with nimble
fingers weaving garlands to grace the festival.  The color and perfume
of rare flowers filled the parlors with an atmosphere of gladness and
fragrance.

At 9 o'clock the bridal party entered to the strains of Mendellson's
wedding march, played by Miss Stewart.

Rev. Father Mahe performed the sacramental rite of the Catholic Church,
and delivered a short but impressive address upon the sacredness of the
contract.  The bride is a great favorite among a large circle of
friends, and she never looked so happy and handsome as on her wedding
night, in an elegant directoire gown of rich white moire silk, with
sweeping square train.  The corsage was square(?) decollete, embroidered
in pearls.  Miss Cowan was first maid of honor, and wore a stylish
costume of lilac, decorated with ostrich plumes of the same color.  Miss
Aime Quays, sister of the bride, was junior made of honor, and looked
very sweet and charming in a directoire costume of pate blue silk.  The
groom is a young man of sterling character and fine business capacity. 
The happy couple has every prospect of the supreme happiness, which the
Banner wishes them.

Many costly and elegant presents were given the bride, in token of the
affection she is held by her friends--Among them were handsome solitaire
diamond ear rings from the groom, also presents of silver from Mr. and
Mrs. F. F. Montgomery, Mr. Norwood, Mr. Hurly, and many others.

The wedding was in a great measure private.  About one hundred
announcement cards were sent out after the ceremony.

The wedding feast was elegant, and beautiful, and heartily participated
in by the guests present--among them we observed Judge and Mrs. F.F.
Montgomery, and daughter, Miss Philson, Mrs. VanFossen, Dr. and Mrs.
Burwell, Dr. and Mrs. Seay, Dr. and Mrs. James Montgomery, Mrs. Snoddy,
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Powell, Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Ransdell, Miss Alma
Egelly, Mr. and Mrs. Patton Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Rea, Mrs. Champlin,
Mr. and Miss Embry, Mr. Sam and Miss Dollie Kennedy, Miss Minnie Lanier,
and others.

The young people danced until a late hour, and the interest among them
was the bride.  Not a young man present but what took a last waltz with
Mrs. Zettel.
The happy  couple left on Sunday for Cincinnati.
