THE VERMONTVILLE ECHO
Wednesday, August 5, 1903
FORMER VERMONTVILLE LADY MARRIES
At noon today Miss Luna A. Warner became the bride of Willey O. Himes of
Enosburg Falls Vermont. It was a very quiet wedding and only members of the
families of the contracting parties were present at the home of W. W.
Warner, brother of the bride, 909 South Warren Avenue, when Rev, Dr. J. T.
Oxtoby spoke the words which made the happy young couple man and wife.
There were no attendants, the ceremony being made as simple as possible. It
was performed beneath an archway separating the front parlor from the
sitting room and the couple stood directly under a horseshoe of white
daisies, which was suspended from wreathing of clematis in bloom. All the
decorations of the interior were of the flowers, which were in bloom in the
garden outside, and the air was filled with the fragrance of the many
colored nasturtiums and the sweet peas. In the parlor the nasturtium
reigned supreme, while in the sitting room a pretty effect was had with
asters. The dining room was profusely decorated in sweet peas, and very
pretty indeed it looked. Sweet peas were also used for favors at table.
        The bride wore a beautiful dress of white silk and carried a bouquet of
white sweet peas. Following the ceremony an excellent dinner was served and
in the afternoon the young couple left on a wedding trip. They received
many and beautiful presents. Mrs Himes is a well-known teacher and for some
time has occupied the responsible position of assistant principal of the
Emerson school. She has many friends in the city. Mr. Himes is a
progressive young businessman. Guests from out of the city were Mrs E. B.
Moore, North Yakima, Washington, Miss Himes, Buffalo, and Mr and Mrs
Rosenbranz, Auburn, Michigan. No Cards---Saginaw Evening News, August 1st.
