Promptly at eight o'clock the bride and groom slowly entered the parlor to the soft sweet strains of the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin as they sounded from the organ by Miss Bertha C. Stead, sister of the groom. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Charles N. Olmstead, pastor of the M.E. Church, Guilford, under a bower of evergreens, in the center of which was suspended a horse shoe, tied with white ribbons. Green and white were the wedding colors. The bride was tastefully attired in a gown of green satin with trimmings of white silk and white chiffon and carried a bouquet of white hyacinths tied with white satin ribbon. The bride wore a gold chain with opal setting, a gift of the groom. She made a dainty appearance. The groom wore the conventional black. Following the ceremony the bride and groom turned and facing the company received the usual congratulations and well wishes of the friends assembled, after which an elegant collation was served under the direction of cateress McCall of Oxford. During the congratulations the strains of Mendelssohn's grand wedding march were heard from the organ. Many elegant and valuable presents show the high esteem in which the recipients are held. The newly wedded couple were driven the same evening to Norwich, amid showers of rice. The next morning they took the Utica express over the O.&W. for Utica and Syracuse. After a brief wedding trip they will return to Guilford to reside. The bride is a most estimable young lady and will be greatly missed in Oxford and the groom who needs no introduction is an enterprising young farmer. All will unite in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Stead all the happiness that can possibly crowd into their lives.
