A Happy Wedding

At the residence of Mr. J.M. Shields near Carters' mills, on Wednesday night, 
Dec. h2th {12th}, the marriage ceremony of Mr. Shield's youngest daughter, 
Miss Emma, to Mr. Joseph R. Allen of Montgomery county, was solemnized.  The 
ceremony being performed by Rob't Melton, J.P., in the presence of quite an 
assemblage of guests.

At 7 o'clock the attendants marched into the parlor in the following order:  
Mr. J.B. Allen with Miss Jennett Kennedy; Mr. Stephen Melton with Miss Frony 
Allen; Mr. G.F. Allen with Miss Sarah Deaton; Mr. K.W. Leach with Bettie 
Allen; Mr. S.R. Allen with Miss Minnie Cochran; Mr. Hugh Shields with Miss 
Dora Allen, following the attendants came the bride and groom.  Immediately 
after the ceremony was performed the bridal party adjourned to the dining room 
where an elegant repast awaited them.

Next morning the bridal party set out for the home of Mr. J.C. Allen, the 
groom's father, where a very nice dinner was served.  Here the party separated-
--Mr. Allen carrying his beautiful young bridge {bride} to see his bachelor 
home in Montgomery, where from what I can learn, his Montgomery friends gave 
them a hearty welcome in the shape of a bell crowd.

The writer wishes the happy couple a long life and much happiness.
