One of the prettiest weddings of the season occurred today in Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] in the marriage of Miss Mabel Sophia Warren, daughter of Mrs. Hannah Warren of Bainbridge, to Mr, William Howard Fletcher, a well-known and esteemed young man of this village. Many friends assembled in the Presbyterian church at 11 o'clock, a.m., where, amid the fragrance of woodland and lodge the two were made one, the Rev. Arthur Spaulding, performing the ceremony. The church had been tastefully decorated with evergreens, golden rod, wild clematis, ferns and bitter sweet berries. Two arches had been erected in each aisle, and the decorations about the altar and organ were profuse; windows were draped with clematis and the pew entrances in the main body were adorned with bouquets of golden rod tied with yellow ribbons. Mrs. Arthur Spauling was the organist and the young gentlemen, messrs. William W. Hovey, Maurice B; Gilbert of Bainbridge, Charles McNitt of Norwich and Louis Lindgren of Binghamton, were ushers. At the appointed hour the bridal party entered the church to the processional strains from Lohengrin, two ushers preceding the groom and best man, Sterling F. Higley up the right aisle, and two ushers preceding the maid of honor, Miss Mary Merchant of Sherburne, followed by the bride up the left aisle. During the ceremony DeKoven's "O, Promise Me" was softly played. The bride was handsomely dressed in light gray cloth trimmed in white and carried white roses. The maid of honor was attired in white and carried yellow roses. Upon the completion of the ceremony the bridal party left the church to Mendelssohn's wedding march and repaired to the home of the bride's mother where a dainty wedding breakfast was served by the cateress Hickey, of Norwich. The guests were relatives and intimate friends who showered congratulations upon Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher, as do all who know them. The reception was exceedingly pleasant and the home was very pretty in its summer attire of green and flowers. There were numerous gifts of variety, beauty and use, from many friends. Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher do not take a wedding trip now, preferring to wait until the heated term is passed. They will commence housekeeping right away and will reside upon East Main Street. The bride is one of the popular young ladies of Bainbridge, attractive, vivacious and a social favorite. She has been a teacher in the High School for three years and her services were highly prized by the patrons of the school and the Board of Education. The groom has been a resident of Bainbridge since boyhood, and is a young man of integrity and of excellent business ability. He holds a responsible position in the Hovey Creamery....[Bainbridge Republican Aug. 30, 1899]

Mr. and Mrs. Smith left after dinner for Bainbridge where they took the 5:20 train to visit friends in Delaware county. They were sent from the Bride's home by many manifestations of good will, rice and old shoes raining down upon them in profusion.
