With tbo Rituals of That Church
Costly Wedding Present.
Of the many pretty weddings of the
month that of Mr. Harry Northcutt
and Miss Blanche Kennedy, solemn
' ized at the First Presbyterian church
last evening was one of the prettiest.
"June Is the month of roses and posies,
kisses ancPbllsees," and it is quite evi
dent that Plattsmouth is awake to the
fact.
The bride of last evening' was lovely
1a a gown of sheer white organdie, ex
quisitely made and trimmed with pleat
ing and lace, her long veil artistically
draped and half concealing the sweet
face beneath. Her flowers were lovely
white rose buds. The maid of honor.
Miss Mabel Hayes, was gowned In pale
blue end attended the bride to the al
tar. The bride's maids were Miss
Kennedy, sister ot the bride, and Miss
Grace McCallum of Nebraska City
their gowns of pink and yellow, re
spectively, making pretty color pic
tures as they went slowly down the
aisle. They were preceded by the
ushers, Mr. Northcutt, brother of the
groom, and Mr. Gerald Drew, to the
inspiring notes of that . old, but ever
new wedding march, beautifully played
by Miss Kauble. Mr. Northcutt, at
tended by his best man, Mr. McElwain,
met them at the altar.
Many expressions of pleasure were
made that their future home in Omaha
will enable them to make frequent
visits to this city. The wedding
march from Lohengrin played softly
by Miss Kauble, was a fitting prelude
to the eeremony, and the selections
rendered throughout added much to
the impressivenesB of the service.
Mr. Sleeth of the Methodist church
performed the ceremony after the rit
ual of that church impressively and
solemnly, the clear responses of the
young people being plainly audible as
they promised to "Love, honor and
cherish till death do us part."
Many congratulations as well as
costly wedding gifts were tendered the
young couple, who occupy a high place
in the esteem and who have gained by
their years of residence in Plattsmouth
the love and friendship of all with
whom they have been associated.
