Her lover was not to be thwarted by a pea so frail as this and suggested that his lady-love could secure the wedding robes at the Lion Store.

Then when the ceremony was over and the bride and groom marched down the aisle, that delightful symphony of Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's, the glorious and triumphant wedding march that has from time immemorial, woven around the heads of bridal couples its halo of sweet sounds, sweet as the whisperings of love's young dream, permeated not alone the souls of those who were bidden to the wedding, but floated out on the gentle evening breezes like the buoyancy of life's true love, like the strength of united hearts and told the tale of the triumph of Cupid, who has marched to victory since the dawn of the creation, when the starts sang together seeing the heavenly vision of man and woman united. The groom's best man was his brother, Mr. Horace Hanson of Chattanooga, Tenn. Mrs. C.L. Jackson presided at the organ. The ushers were J.W. Ahrens of Eufaula, W.F. Hanson of Oklahoma City; W.H.
