Mr. and Mrs. Sutton sometimes have to pay the penalty of being much beloved, for a few friends and neighbors decided to waive all ceremony, and regardless of an invitation, presented themselves on the important occasion, and as far as could be observed, felt themselves very much at home. Dr. Higby of St. Paul's Episcopal church was the officiating minister; the ceremony was solemn but very beautiful, and drew tears from all present. Mr. Sutton gave his daughter away, but did not appear to be a very "cheerful giver." The bride was gowned in a beautiful white crepe de chine, and wore the time honored bridal veil. A pleasing incident in connection with this marriage was the sudden and unexpected outburst of sunlight just at the conclusion of the ceremony. The interested parties and their friends had regretted that the day promised only rain and gloom, so this propitious change was very gratifying. The large number of really valuable wedding gifts speak volumes for the popularity of both contracting parties. A course luncheon of most delicious refreshments was graciously served the guests by Misses Hughes and Munger, looking bright and happy in their pretty white frocks. Miss Emily Mayo, a loved friend, proved herself a deft assistant and added grace to the occasion. Dr. Aitken and bride left on the evening Santa Fe train covered with a shower of rice and carrying with them the best wishes of their Oklahoma friends. The going-away gown was of lovely blue material and the making and trimming resembled a graceful and fascinating Japanese costume.
