At the home of the bride's parents
Mr. and Mrs. G. II. Dennis, Thursday
evening, Febuary 14, 1907, occurred
the marriage of their eldest daughter,
Miss Ressie, to Rert L. Philpot, Rev
J. II. Andress officiating.
As the clock struck the hour of
eight the wedding march was played
by Miss Hazel Ziegler, of Omaha, and
the bridal party descended the stairs
Rev. Andress first followed by two
little flower girls, Elva Philpot and
Nellie Dennis, driven with white rib
bons by little Dale Philpot dressed as
Tom Thumb. Neva Dennis came
next bearing the ring on a white silk
cushion. Immediately following the
ring bearer came the groom accom
panied by his best man, Less nail, of
Murray, and these were followed by
the bride, leaning on the arm of Miss
Mayme Philpot, of Omaha.
The bride and groom took their
places beneath a large white bell
which was very appropriate for the
occasion, and Rev. Andress, using the
simple but beautiful ring service, pro
nounced the words which made two
loving hearts one.
After congratulations the party was
conducted to the dining room where a
three-course luncheon was served to
about sixty relatives and friends.
The bride was handsomely gowned
in pure white, while the groom wore
the conventional black.
The parlor was beautifully decorat
ed in lavender and white. The laven
der and white effect was also carried
out in the dining room. White fes
toons were hung from the chandelier,
and fastened at the corners of the
table with lavender bows. Large
white bells were suspended from above
and an abundance of green vines com
pleted the decorations.
The evening was a beautiful one
and at midnight the guests took their
departure, wishing the bride and
groom many years of wedded happi
ness and prosperity.
A large number of beautiful and
useful presents were left as a token of
