She was attended by her sister Miss Sadie, who wore a dress of pale pink mull, and wore the groom's favor, a handsome gold brooch.

At 8 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Roumey held a reception and over a hundred guests enjoyed themselves immensely until a late hour. The bride's presents were very beautiful and costly.
