(The following account of the above event is handed at at us by witness of the happy affair. — Ed. Times)
The home of Mrs. Carpenter, in Quimby, was filled last Wednesday, September 25, with friends to witness the marriage of George Groves and Daisy Carpenter. About one o’clock everything was still and all eyes were eagerly watching the door for the approach of the happy pair. The guests arose and remained standing during the ceremony which insoluably welded the ties of love and affection, and which was spoken by Rev. Hood of this place. As soon as the ceremony was completed congratulations were offered and the party was ushered into the dining room where the tables were fairly groaning under their burden of delicacies. The bride was becomingly attired in cream silk and wool, ornamented with pearl and beautiful bows of cream satin ribbon. The groom wore conventional black. The afternoon passed, and time to depart. The newly wedded couple drove off, accompanied by the customary showers of rice, to meet the six o’clock train at Cherokee. They will spend a couple of weeks visiting at Minneapolis and other points.
The brief mention of the young people who were made husband-and-wife is more in obedience to custom than necessity. The bride, who is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Mary Carpenter, has resided in this county since childhood, ranks among the first as a teacher, and is charming in person and disposition. The groom, the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Groves, is a reliable young business man, whose reputation is established for integrity and high character. Both deserving each other, and together happiness. They were the recipients of many useful and beautiful presents.
Mr. and Mrs. Groves will be at home to their friends, in Quimby, after October 11th.
