Was That of Miss Minnie Weickgenant and Dorwin Gregory This Morning
A pretty October wedding was solemnized at 9 o'clock this morning in St. Philips church, when Miss Minnie Weickgenant and Dorwin Gregory were joined in wedlock by Rev. R.J. Sadler.
The church was prettily trimmed in green and white, and during the nuptial high mass, the choir rendered pleasing selections, while Miss Josephine Brokaw sang the "Ava Maria" her rich and powerful voice filling the church with melody. Miss Anna Weickgenant, sister of the bride, was maid of honor and Ralph Doremus of Kalamazoo, a cousin of the bride was best man. The ladies were exquisitely gowned. The bride wore a costume fashioned from white corded silk with a hat trimmed in white plumes with just a touch of pink. Her bouquet was of pink carnations. Her maid was dressed in a light blue dimity trimmed with satin. Her hat was in light blue tints and the flowers white carnations. The bridal party was preceded by the ushers, M.T. Hattendorf, A. Giddings, Walter Lynch and Bernard Yeo, and the group was an interesting one as the places were taken before the altar.
Following the ceremony, the guests repaired to the home of the bride's father, Christopher Weickgenant, 48 West Van Buren street, where an elaborate breakfast was served, covers being laid for forty. Four cousins of the bride, the Misses Agnes Hovser, Marie Geise, Winifred and Nellie Weickgenant, served the company. The house decorations were pink and white, these colors being effectively combined throughout the suite. Mr. and Mrs. Gregory departed this afternoon on a trip to Detroit, Buffalo and Canada, returning to Battle Creek where they will be at home after October 15 at 48 East Van Buren street.
The groom is employed at the Advance Pump and Compressor works where he is a valued attache.
Mrs. Gregory has for several weeks been connected with the J. Weickgenant dry goods store and as a host of friends who will join in host wishes. Many handsome gifts in silver, china and furniture were given with the high regard of friends and these will embellish the new home soon to be established. |
