Rensselaer Republican, Volume 18, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 October 1885 — A Blissful Bridal. [ARTICLE]

A Blissful Bridal.

The home of M. F. Chilcote was the scene of a quiet and unpretentious; but very elegant wedding, Tuesday evening, October 14th, when his neice. Miss May Miller, was united in marriage to Mr, Amanzo Thomas. Only the relatives, and a few of the intimate friends of the family, were present; and the evening passed as pleasantly as even Mr. Chilcote, whose chief desire seems to be to make his friends happy, could wish. At half past seven the bridal couple entered the parlor, .preceded by the minister only, and, taking their positions in the bay window, the Rev. Gilbert Small, using the graceful but impressive form of theJPresbyterian church, united them for better or for worse. The usual congratulations followed, after which, refreshments were served. The bride’s costume was of wine colored wool, combined with brocaded velvet, and was very handsome and becoming. Bride and groom evinced a remarkable degree of self-possession during the ceremony. .; Miss Miller has been a most popular member of Rensselaer society, and for the past .two years, one of ciur most valued teachers; and were it not that in Mr. Thomas she has found one who is well worthy of her, and will make her happy in life, her many friends could scarcely- forgive him for taking her away from them and locating her in far away Minnesota, for which place they will start this evening, intending to spend a few days in Chicago, and then go on to their home in Witoka, in the above mentioned state.
