The best man was Michael J. Griffin of Oxford, a brother of the groom, while the maid of honor was Miss Mae L. Mulligan of Sherburne. The groom presented his bride with a handsome diamond brooch and his gift to the best man was a stick pin set with pearls. The bride's favor to her maid of honor was a handsome and costly jewel comb. The bride looked charming attired in a beautiful gown of Burlingham silk. She wore a white picture hat and carried a white prayer book. The maid of honor was similarly attired. She wore a white Neapolitan hat and carried a massive bouquet of white bridal roses. The evidence of the high esteem in which the couple are held was attested by the many and beautiful wedding gifts. Most noticeable among them was a check for a substantial sum form the bride's father, another check from the best man, together with several pieces of cut glass, silver ware, bric-a-brac, furniture, Haviland china and a china set. Immediately after the ceremony the party went to the home of the bride's parents, 35 Cooper street, where a sumptuous wedding breakfast was served by Mrs. John Preston. For the occasion the house was beautifully decorated with daisies, ferns, cut flowers and potted plants. The tables were ornamented with cut flowers and potted plants.
