Wethey - Sterling
Bainbridge Republican, January 10, 1900
Invitations have been received in Bainbridge to the marriage of Miss Mabel Maude Sterling of Weedsport, N.Y. [Cayuga Co.} and Mr. Alfred Charles Wethey of Auburn [Cayuga Co., NY], to occur in the M.E. Church of Weedsport, Thursday evening, Dec. 7th, at half past six o'clock. The bride was born in Bainbridge and left here when about ten years old, at the death of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Sterling, to reside with her grandparents, ,Mr. and Mrs. O.K. Gault of Weedsport.
The account of the wedding of Miss Mabelle M. Sterling of Weedsport, N.Y. to Alfred C. Wethey of Auburn on December 7, 1899, taken from the Weedsport Sentinel of current date, though late in publication will have an interest for all who remember Mr. and Mrs. Sterling prominent residents in Bainbridge at the time of their decease a number of years ago. The bride was a little girl and an orphan when she left Bainbridge to reside with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. O.K. Gault of Weedsport. "The prettiest wedding of the season was that of Miss Mabelle M. Sterling to Alfred Charles Wethey of Auburn which was solemnized in the village on Thursday evening of December 7th at half after 6 at the First Methodist Episcopal church in the presence of a large and fashionable audience. The bridal party entered the church to the strains of the Lohengrin wedding march, preceded by six ushers, the bride following, leaning on the arm of her cousin Leonard E. Eldredge and was attended by Miss Estelle Kilham Eldredge of Syracuse as maid of honor. The groom, with the best man, Myron N. Wethey of Auburn, awaited them at the altar, where the ceremony was performed by the Rev. F.T Keeney of Auburn. The decorations at the church were simple but very effective. Arches of green and white in the aisles and a larger one at the altar. Ropes of evergreen concealed the organ and the pulpit was banked with palms. The bride was handsomely gowned in white corded silk entraine, with accordion pleated chiffon trimmings; the bridal veil was fastened with a brooch of pearls and diamonds, the gift of the gram and a shower bouquet of bride's roses, completed a most charming toilet. The maid of honor was gowned in white silk mulle, trimmed with shirred white satin ribbon over pink taffeta and carried hugh pink and white chrysanthemums. Mendelssohn's wedding march was played as the party left the church. A reception followed at the home of the bride's grandparents Mr. and Mrs. O.K. Gault, at which only the families of the contracting parties and the ushers were present. late in the evening the young couple left for an intended trip to Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia. On their return they will reside at no. 15 Westlake avenue in Auburn. The presents were handsome and form the large number of them showed in what high esteem the young couple are held."
