Edward F. CARLESON - Maggie RAY
Society was all aglow last night, the hurrying to and fro and the rattle of the carriages being very conspicuous .  Bouquets and white glovers were in demand and everything pointed to a marriage of some importance, and true enough two hearts were to be made happy for life.  At nine oclock the parlors of the Commercial Hotel were crowded to their utmost capacity, the flower and the beauty of Rock Springs being present.  The ladies were looking their best and in the height of fashion.  The perfume of flowers floated in the air and the arrangements were in harmony with the merry occasion.
About 9:30 the bridal party, to the strains of sweet music, filed into the room, when Edward F. Carleson and Maggie Ray were joined in holy wedlock by the Rev. S. J. Rogers.  The bridesmaids were Miss Josie Forndran and Miss Barbara Ray, sister of the bride, while Charles Sorenson and David James supported the groom.  It was a charming scene, beautifully set off by a handsome couple.  The facial sweetness of the bride vied with the snow-white flowers she wore, while the groom in hs conventional black reached the acme of perfection as the manly groom.  The flowers were presented by Charles Sorenson, whose attention to the necessary decorations and love of the beautiful, ought soon to bring for him a bride of his own.  The last word uttered by the minister was the signal for a flood of music by the Silver Cornet band whose last note had scarcely died away when the tin can brigade broke loose with a noise more terrible than an earthquake.  Their din was soon silenced and again the band stirred the souls of all.  While the music was in progress Mr. and Mrs. Carleson were receiving congratulations of their friends.
Supper was soon announced, but the word supper falls short in its application.  It was a banquet, one of those luxurious feasts for which Mr. and Mrs. Kierl have become famous.  The tables were most inviting and the menu most elaborate:  cold meats of all kinds, roast chicken salads in endless variety, strawberry ice cream, cake, etc.  At the head of the center table sat the bridal party, and before the bride and groom stood two magnificent bridal cakes.  The bride made the incision and distributed pieces of the cake to her guests.  Before rising from the tables Robert Smith was called upon by the groomsmen to express the kind feelings of those around them towards Mr. and Mrs. Carleson and to encourage them on their way through life.  His remarks were opportune,, and were endorsed by all the gentlemen standing and giving three loud and long cheers for the blushing couple.  An adjournment was then taken to the opera house, where dancing was enjoyed .  The orchestra, Masers J. Hunter, Hotchkiss, and Robinson rendered choice music and William C. Syme filled the role of prompter
The bride is a lovely young lady, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Allan Ray.  Her training fits her for her new sphere which she will adorn.  The groom is proprietor of the Excelsior livery stables, and one of our most prominent business men.  In commercial circles he stands high and socially he is esteemed.  May their union be blessed with little rays of sunshine developing in larger ones as years roll by. .
