Marriages
At the residence of the bride's father in South Oxford [Chenango Co. NY], Sept. 23d, by Rev. George Potter, Mr. Rector W. Willoughby, of Amsterdam, N.Y. [Montgomery Co.], to Miss Rosella H. [Stratton], youngest daughter of Albert Stratton, Esq.
In this town [Greene, Chenango Co. NY], Sept. 23d, by Rev. J.H. Sage, Mr. Levi Paddleford, of Fenton [Broome C. NY] to Miss Mira C. [Stanton], daughter of Mr. Cephas Stanton, of this town.
The Congregational Church in this village [Greene, Chenango Co. NY], was packed full of people on Tuesday evening of last week, to witness the marriage of Hubert W. Frost, Esq., to Miss Cornelia E. Peck, daughter of Philo Peck of this town. The Church was brilliantly lighted, and the floral display was on a grand and magnificent scale, entirely eclipsing anything of the kind ever attempted in our village. A large and beautifully arranged floral bower, about eight feet high, was standing in front of the altar, beneath which the happy pair stood when united. This was a magnificent display of choice flowers, and it was so arranged as to give the best effect possible. This bower contained the large amount of sight bushels of cut flowers and was admired by all present as being perfect in every detail. Besides the beautiful bower, there were many plants and flowers in other portions of the Church, and the beautiful blending of all, gave the Chruch, in the vicinity of the altar, the appearance of an extensive flower garden. Everything spoke well for those who devised and perfected these beautiful adornments.

Marriage
Last Tuesday evening, September 29th, the M.E. Church was packed with an expectant throng to witness the nuptial ceremony over George L. Winsor, Esq., a promising young lawyer of the firm of Sayre & Winsor, and Miss Getie Wetmore, the accomplished daughter of Mr. James K. Wetmore, all of this village [Bainbridge Chenango Co. NY]. The desk was adorned with choice and fragrant flowers, while in the north end of the Church were the words tastily arranged in plain letters, "May peace and prosperity attend them." At fifteen minutes of seven the tones of the organ, skillfully presided over by Prof. S.N. Copley, pealed forth, and soon the bride, supported on the arm of Elliot Danforth, Esq., the groomsman and the groom in company with Miss Ida Prince, the bridesmaid, entered, and proceeded slowly down the aisle to the altar, where Rea. A.B. Richardson, pastor, assisted by Rev. Mr. Bixby, performed the beautiful and impressive ceremony of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The newly married couple then repaired to the depot to await the arrival of the 7:50 train, which was to bear them to Binghamton, thence to the Thousand Islands, where they will remain about a week. At the depot was the scene of congratulations, and it seemed as though the entire village availed themselves of this opportunity to grasp the hand and lisp a God speed.
But we would not close this article neglecting to mention the happy union of friends at the home of the bride previous to the ceremony. The immediate relatives and a few chosen friends of the couple assembled, by invitation, to exchange courtesies and discuss the ample variety of contents of a table groaning beneath the weight of delicacies. The presents of the bride were numerous and costly and were a reminder of the high estimation in which she was held by her friends. As they commence traveling life's eventful journey together, may their pathway be as bright and joyous as the company which assembled on their wedding day to bid the star of fortune illumine their way.
