Pretty Wedding at the Metropole

On Christmas evening at 6:30 in the parlors of the Metropole hotel a very pretty
wedding occurred, the principals being Miss Jonnie Harrison Acree and Mr. Henry
Francis Graham, respectively of Moody and Memphis, Tenn.

The parlors had been tastefully decorated with ferns and palms for the occasion
and a number of friends in Waco and Moody were present to witness the ceremony.

To the accompaniment of piano and violin by Misses Lacy and Gay the song,
"Without Thee" was sweetly rendered by Miss Baade. Then to Lohengrin's
processional the wedding party entered and took place before Rev. F. C. McConnell.

embroidered net over green messaline with black picture hat and she carried a
cluster of white chrysanthemums. 

Then the maid of honor, Miss Laura Kuykendall of Moody, in spangled net over
pink satin, with large pink hat and carrying an arm bouquet of pink chrysanthemums.


Then the bride on the arm of her brother, Mr. Fred Acree of Moody. The bride was
beautifully gowned in white satin trimmed with pearls and point lace with court
train, the veil being caught up with a wreath of orange blossoms and wearing as
an only ornament a pearl brooch, the gift of the groom.

Meeting the groom at the improvised altar with his best man and oldest friend,
Mr. John S. Patterson of Moody, the couple were soon united as man and wife.
