The principle event in Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] for some time past, was the wedding of Frank F. Barber to Miss Helen Priest, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.M. Priest, on Wednesday evening of this week. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J.F. Barber, of Madrid, N.Y., father of the groom, assisted by Rev. Mr. Ashley, Baptist minister of this place. The house was beautifully illuminated and the rooms decorated with choice potted plants and flowers, and an abundance of criptograms or running pine. There was a large company gathered of relatives and friends of the happy couple, representing Binghamton, Oneonta, Coventry and other places. At eight o'clock, Miss Mary Humphrey, of Sidney, a former music pupil of Miss Priest's took her place at the piano and soon filled the house with the happy strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding march, after which the ceremony was performed. The bridesmaids were Misses Josie Priest and Helen Corbin, attended by Messrs Harry Beatty, of Binghamton, and Bert Priest. The Pathway of the bride and groom was strewn with flowers by two little maids, Irena Ireland and Blanche Hynds, as they led the way to the altar. The bride was dressed in a handsome "caffe a lait gown of faile," entrain, trimmed in bride's roses. Supper was served on small tables, of which there was an abundance, and every one present enjoyed the occasion very much. The presents were numerous, beautiful and valuable. It would be useless to attempt an enumeration of them all. Among other things was a handsome black walnut book case and secretary, presented by White, Hovey & Co., of the creamery where Mr. Barber is book-keeper. The wedded couple are among our most beloved young people, and no one envies them their happy start in life but all unit in wishing them many a joyous anniversary day. The couple accompanied Rev. and Mrs. Barber to their home in Madrid Thursday morning, and will be gone several days, visiting Canada and other places in the meantime.
