Stever - Smith

Otsego Journal, January 29, 1890

The many Gilbertsville friends of Charles Stever will read with much interest the following, which we clip from the last issue of the Bainbridge Republican:  "On Thursday, January 16, Maple Grove Farm, Bainbridge,  New York, the home of the bride, was the scene of a pleasant gathering of the relatives to witness the solemnizing of the marriage of Miss Emma G Smith and Mr. Charles Stever, of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY].  The guests from a distance arrived on the 1 p.m. train, and were charmingly entertained until four o'clock, the hour appointed for the ceremony, when they gathered in the parlor and in pleasing expectancy awaited the appearance of the bridal party.  The notes of a wedding march played on the piano was the signal and Mr Grummon, the officiating clergyman, entered followed by the bride and groom.   The minister performed the ceremony which made the twain one, and after invoking the divine blessing upon the happy pair, the pianist, who had discoursed sweet and subdued music during the service, burst forth into joyful melody, and Mr. and Mrs. Stever turned to receive the congratulations of those present. The bride looked charming in a gown of old rose faille and plush, with garniture of Persian trimming and rich lace at the throat and wrists.  The groom was attired in the conventional black.  They stood under an arch of green and before a pyramid of growing plants and flowers.  the entire house was embowered in evergreen and with the pretty toilets of the guests made a brilliant scene. After congratulations had been offered, the guests sat down to an elaborate wedding supper, and "all went merry as a marriage bell."  The presents which were tastefully displayed in the parlors and hall, were handsome and appropriate, and testified to the regard in which the bride is held  The evening passed delightfully until the hour of departure arrived, and the bride and groom were driven off amidst a shower of rice and good wishes.   After an extensive wedding trip, embracing Philadelphia and Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Stever will return to Bainbridge and will be at home at Maple Grove Farm."
