THE BRIDAL PARTY

At Wannebo's Hall - Over One-Hundred Intimate Friends of the Bride and Groom Present-One of the Most Pleasant Events of the Season.

Yesterday morning occurred the marriage of Mr. Chas. Weston and Miss Agnes Murphy at St. Mary's church, Rev. Father Schwebach officiating. The marriage service was beautiful and impressive and witnessed by a large number of friends. In the afternoon a grand dinner was given to a large number of invited guests. The happy couple are well known residents of La Crosse, and have a host of friends. The bride's family have lived in North La Crosse for over twenty years.
The best part of the day was spent in riding and driving around the city and calling on friends and relatives, and in the evening as per announcement a grand reception was held at the residence of the bride's parents on Caledonia Street. The wedding feast was just too grand for anything. In fact there were so many different and elaborate kinds of eatables it would be impossible for us to give more than a casual mention of them. Three tables were kept continually loaded with refreshments of every description each of which were very finely decorated with beautiful flowers of every kind and color.
