The Marriage of Two M.D's:

A pretty wedding took place on Saturday morning at nine o'clock at the residence of the bride's father, W. V. Brown, Esq. The principals in this happy event were Martha Wyman Brown, M. D, C. M, fourth daughter of W. V. Brown, Esq, of this place, formerly of Yarmouth, and Howard M. Shaw, M. D, C. M., son of I. S. Shaw, Esq., of Berwick.
Promptly at the appointed hour the pair, preceded by the bridesmaid, Agnes Brown, youngest sister of the bride, appeared in the drawing room which had been handsomely decorated for the occasion with flowers, potted plants and flags. The bride looked charming in a dress of blue silk alpaca with white satin trimmings and lace, carrying a bouquet of white lilies. The ceremony was performed by Rev. D. H. Simpson, assisted by Rev. W. Ellis. Immediately after the ceremony, luncheon was served. The happy couple after visiting several towns in this province, start on an extended tour through the United States as far as San Francisco, before taking up their residence at Neihart, Montana.
The bride graduated this year in medicine at Dalhousie University. The groom is also a graduate in medicine at McGill University, therefore this marriage is quite out of the ordinary, as it unites two of Nova Scotia's M. D's.. We wish them every success in the practice of their profession in the West.
