Marriages (August 11)

St. Peter's church was the scene of a very pretty wedding at 6 o'clock on New Year's eve.  At this time Miss Vera Beatrice Strail was united in marriage to Mr. Leigh Wallace Evans by the rector, the Rev. Thomas J. Collar.  The bride, who is a very efficient and capable young business woman, was given in marriage by her father, Mr. Orson C. Strail of Schenevus.  She was attended by her sister, Miss Mildred Strail.  After a brief wedding trip, Mr. and Mrs. Evans will be at home to their many friends at the Evans home on Pruyn Hill [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY].  [Norwich Sun, Jan. 7, 1925]

A very pretty wedding was that at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Ireland on Bixby street [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], Wednesday evening, April 24th.  The contracting parties were Mary A., only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ireland, and Mr. Jesse Wildey of Afton [Chenango Co., NY].  At six o'clock, to the strains of the Lohengrin Wedding March played by Miss Julia E. Webster, the bridal party descended the stairs passing through evergreen gates tied with white ribbons, which were opened by Miss Gladys Redfield and Master Leo Keeler, and took their places underneath a beautiful arch.  The impressive marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. T.F. Hall, after which he introduced Mr. and Mrs. Wildey to the company to receive the congratulations of their friends.  The bride was beautifully attired in a white silk gown, entraine, and wore a flowing veil and orange blossoms in her hair.  She carried a bouquet of white roses.  The bridesmaid, Miss Nellie Rood, wore a very pretty dress of blue trimmed with white lace, and carried a bouquet of white roses.  The best man was Mr. George Dutton of the Oneonta Normal, and the ushers were Mr. Chas. K. Gilbert of this place and Mr. Jut Hyde of Afton.  The rooms were beautifully decorated with evergreens and potted plants.  Over a hundred guests were present and a bountiful repast was served.  The presents were numerous and beautiful.  Guests were present from Oneonta, Otego, Walton, Afton and Binghamton.  The Bainbridge Cornet band serenaded the happy couple with a few choice selections, which were heartily enjoyed.  The bride and groom left amid a shower of rice, taking train No. 3 for Binghamton.  The bride is a winsome young lady and a host of friends join in good wishes for her future.  The groom is a popular young man, and his many friends wish him a life of happiness.  It was one of the prettiest weddings ever witnessed in Bainbridge.
