The garden of the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Mariette Haight, 334 Seneca Turnpike, was the scene of an interesting ceremony Saturday night, July 12, at 6 o'clock, when their daughter, Miss Hildegarde  Hopkins Haight, was united in wedlock to Frank Boyd McLaughlin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank F. McLaughlin, 971 Lancaster avenue.  The Rev. Walter R. Henricks, Jr., minister of Onondaga Valley Presbyterian Church, read the service in a floral setting in the center of the formal garden.  A string orchestra provided music.  The bride wore a white net dress with a large, white Gainsborough hat and carried a white Colonial bouquet.  Her attendants, Mrs. Charles Stouer and the bride's sister, Mrs. Thomas B. Dixson, wore yellow chiffon dresses with yellow Dutch caps and carried sheaves of garden flowers.  Robert McLaughlin was best man, and ushers were Robert Anderson, ,Charles Stouer, Thomas Dixson.  Martha Tallman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Conde Tallman, of Baldwinsville, cousin of the bride, was flower girl.  Her frock was of pink dotted Swiss and she carried a small basket of delphinium, poppies and Lemon lilies.  Mrs. Haight, the brid's mother, was in hyacinth blue lace and had a bouquet of sweet peas.  Mrs. McLaughlin, the bridegroom's mother, chose blue chiffon and had a bouquet of sweet peas. supper was served.  When the couple left on a motor trip through the South, the bride wore a coral colored suit with natural linen shoes and matching hat and bag.  Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin expect to live in Syracuse [Onondaga Co., NY].  Both young people are graduated from Syracuse University.  The bride is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority; the bridegroom is a member of Phi Delta fraternity.  Mrs. Lloyd Everingham and Mrs. George Reagan arranged a bridge and shower in the former's home on Ruhamah avenue for the bride before her marriage.

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]
