One of the most enjoyable occasions which it has been our lot to participate in of late in our village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], was the reception of Mr. and Mrs. Marston, on the evening of their marriage, at the residence of Edward T. Hayes, Esq., the bride's father. Notwithstanding the weather was extremely unpropitious, the commodious house was well packed with a joyous and happy company, assembled to congratulate the happy couple. The aged as well as the youth of our village vied with each other in doing honor to the occasion, while the happy couple themselves seemed not indifferent to the pleasant attention which was bestowed upon them, and joyously received the kind wishes and congratulations of their many friends. The supper spread upon the occasion did honor to it, and was in perfect good taste and keeping with its surroundings, as all who had the pleasure of partaking of its richness, can abundantly testify. After supper, music and dancing was the order, and right merrily were they enjoyed by the young people until the small hours of the morning admonished them that pleasure, even, must have an end, and the joyous company separated. We noticed a large number of rich and costly bridal presents which were bestowed upon the bride, but the package of Midland R.R. Town Bonds, from her father seem to us peculiarly appropriate, coming as it did from one of the originators of the great enterprise. May the lives of the happy couple be long and full of happiness is the wish of their many Norwich friends. [Chenango Telegraph & Chronicle, Nov. 25, 1868]
