Lancaster daily intelligencer. (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928: January 06, 1880
Another Fashionable Wedding in the Presbyterian Church.
Another brilliant wedding, attracting the attention and presence of the most
fashionable society circles of Lancaster, was solemnized in the Presbyterian church,
this city, at 3 p. m. today. The bride was Miss Minnie Ashbridge, daughter of Mrs.
S. E. Ashbridge, 343 West King street, one of the most beautiful, accomplished and
popular young ladies in Lancaster society. The groom was Mr. Alexander J. Godby, a
young gentleman of Baltimore, though well-known and highly popular in this city.
There were no groomsmen and the ladies attendant on the bride were Miss Minnie
Ashbridge, of Downingtown; Miss Paxton, of Carlisle; Miss Woodward, of Philadelphia;
Miss Spence, of Baltimore, and Miss Lulu Bell, of Lancaster. The ushers were Messrs.
B. Randall, Alex. Falconer, J. M. Wood and F. Donaldson, of Baltimore, and Geo.
Steinman, of Lancaster, the entire bridal party being in full dress.
The pulpit of the church was handsomely decorated and flanked with flowers, growing
plants and vines. Wreaths of smilax, ornamented with clusters of rosebuds, covered
the altar, and ornamental vines and leaves were trailed around its base; at the
sides in pots and vases was a rich profusion of growing plants and choice flowers,
the whole forming a beautiful spectacle of artistic arrangement and exhaling rich
perfumes.The ceremony was pronounced, after the Presbyterian ritual, by Rev. J.Y.
Mitchell. After the wedding there was a private reception of the bridal party and
relatives at the residence of Mrs. Ashbridge; and Mr. and Mrs. Godby left, eastward,
at 1:20 p. m., on their wedding tour.
