The wedding party was ushered in at 9 o'clock to the meledious strains of the wedding march from "Der Freischutz", which was artistically rendered by Mrs. Uttermoehl, and took their places in the archway between the double drawing rooms. During the ceremony music from the "Prayer in Der Freischutz" was softly played. The bride wore a rich and becoming costume of white cashmere and satin, with garnitures of pearl passementerie and white satin ribbon, long veil of white tulle and slippers and gloves of white undressed kid. She carried a bouquet of bride's roses, the same flowers being in her hair and decorating her corsage.
