Bainbridge News, August 10 & 24, 1950

 

Rolland C. & Ruth A. (LeCaro) Peckham

 

Miss Ruth A. LeCaro became the bride of Rolland C. Peckham in a formal double ring ceremony performed by the Rev. Walter I. Eaton at the First Presbyterian Church, Bainbridge, Sunday afternoon, Aug. 6, at 3 o'clock.  White gladioli, asters and green barberry interlacing candelabras, transformed the church into a proper setting for the lovely bride dressed in a gown of nylon marquisette trimmed with Chantilly lace.  Her shoulder length veil of illusion was attached to a head-piece trimmed with pearls.  She wore a string of pearls, a gift of the groom, and carried a bouquet of white orchids and stephanotis.  Lohengrin's wedding march was played by Mrs. Raymond Thielking, of Amsterdam, who also gave a recital of wedding music preceding the ceremony.  Mrs. Frederick Neidlinger sang "I Love You" by Greig, and "At Dawning," by Cadman.  Mrs. Charles H. Anderson, of Otego, a cousin of the bride, acted as matron of honor. Her gown was of pale orchid bemberg with headdress of feathers and velvet.  She carried a bouquet of lavender asters to harmonize with her gown.  Donald C. Peckham, of Northfield, Vt., brother of the groom, acted as best man and the guests were seated by Henry Cheesbro, Jr., and Frederick Neidlinger.  The bride's mother was attired in navy blue sheer accented by pearls and white accessories. She wore a corsage of pale yellow roses which added color to her ensemble. The groom's mother wore a gown of rose linen with white accessories and a dainty corsage of glads and white mums.  An informal reception followed in the church parlors which were decorated in green and yellow floral arrangements of Queen Anne's lace, hydrangeas and phlox.  The bridal table covered with exquisite tablecloths held a three tiered wedding cake.  Refreshments were served to over 200 guests during the afternoon.  Informal pictures of the party were made by amateurs while Mr. Mills of Mills Studio, Sidney, arranged the bridal pair for wedding pictures. Church decorations were arranged by Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis Wade, of Sidney.  The bride, daughter of Mrs. Helen LeCaro and the late Andrew LeCaro, is a graduate of Albany State College for Teachers and Columbia University.  She is guidance counselor at Sidney Central School.  The groom, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Peckham, is a graduate of Union College of Pharmacy.  He served three years in the Army of the United States in the Suez Canal Zone. The couple left for a motor trip through the Adirondacks and into Canada, and on their return will reside in Bainbridge.
