Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]: A very pretty home wedding took place Wednesday evening, Dec. 25th, when Iva Lou Neff and Leon Yates Jones, of Delmar, were united in marriage at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Neff. The bridal party entered the parlor promptly at 8 o'clock to the strains of the wedding march played by Mrs. Lee C. Winsor, and the ceremony was performed by Rev. R.M. Pascoe of the M.E. Church under an arch of evergreens erected in front of the bay window. From the center of the arch hung a white horse shoe, and the white gates of the arch, wound with evergreen and tied with white ribbon, were unfastened by Miss Lulu Neff, sister of the bride, who acted a bridesmaid, and Howard S Sherwood groomsman. The other decorations were also very pleasing. A beautiful wedding bell of white was suspended from the center of the parlor ceiling, from which festoons of white extended to the sides and corners of the room, forming a graceful canopy. In the other rooms Xmas decorations of evergreen and holly were used. In the dining room the bride's table was trimmed with green and white, and from a wreath of evergreen secured to the ceiling over the center of the table, festoons of green and white were draped and a large four leaf clover was suspended. The bride wore a handsome gown of blue silk and white lace, and carried a bouquet of white carnations and maidenhair ferns. Mr. Jones was a resident of Guilford at one time, but now occupies a position in Albany. The wedding gifts were numerous, consisting of a silver tea set, other silver, china, linen, a fine clock, bank bills, etc. The wedding supper was served by caterer C. Toby of Bainbridge....The congratulations and good wishes of many friends are extended to Mr. and Mrs. Jones.[Bainbridge Republican, Jan. 2, 1908]
