A very pretty wedding occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William McPherson of Yaleville [Guilford Chenango Co., NY], on Thursday evening, Nov. 27, when their daughter, Miss Lizzie, and Walter G. Ireland of West Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], were united in marriage. The parlors and dining room were handsomely decorated with evergreens, and white chrysanthemums were the flowers of the evening. At eight o'clock the wedding march was played by Miss Addie Woodruff and the bridal couple entered the parlor and stood before an arch of evergreens, banked with potted plants and ferns and from which was suspended silvered horse shoes. They were attended by Misses Isabelle Ireland, sister of the groom, and Elizabeth Grube, cousin of the bride, as bridesmaid, and T.H. Petley and Theodore Neidlinger as best men. The bride was gowned in blue satin trimmed with white and carried white chrysanthemums. One maid wore white and carried yellow chrysanthemums; the other wore yellow and carried white chrysanthemums. They were met at the arch by the Rev. Charles Olmstead, pastor of the Guilford Methodist Episcopal church, who, using a very impressive service and prayer, pronounced them man and wife, and introduced the happy couple to their friends, who offered hearty congratulations and best wishes. The company soon repaired to the dining room where an elegant four-course dinner was served, concluding with the delicious ice creams for which Christopher Toby of Bainbridge, is becoming famous. About eighty guests were present. The many beautiful and useful gifts testified to the high esteem in which the bride and groom are held by the people who have known them from their childhood. Late in the evening Mr. and Mrs. Ireland left unexpectedly (to the company) thereby escaping the usual showers of rice and old shoes, for a short trip. They will make their future home on the farm of the groom's father near West Bainbridge and a happy prosperous and useful life is the heartfelt wish of their friends here and elsewhere.
