Fairbank-Burt Wedding
A very pretty wedding took place at 8 o'clock Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur T. Burt in Dewitt, when their daughter, Miss Ethel Burt, became the bride of Edmund Roy Fairbank. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. M. M. Williams of this city. The house was beautifully decorated, a color scheme of green and white being carried out. Quantities of feathery white chrysanthemums and Southern smilax were used in the decorations and formed a canopy for the wedding party, palms being used for the background. Preceding the ceremony George Hayward sang "Oh, Promise Me." The Lohengrin wedding march and "The Flower Song" were rendered by Mrs. George Hayward during the ceremony. Miss Burt was attended by Miss Clara Fairbank as maid of honor and Miss Marian Burt as bridesmaid. Harry Burt acted as Mr. Fairbank's best man and the ushers were Ray and Guy Fairbank and Fred Burt. The bride wore a beautiful gown of ivory satin and Georgette crepe with opalescent trimming and the tulle veil fastened with a wreath of orange blossoms fell to the length of the skirt. Her bouquet was a shower of brideroses. The maid of honor was gowned in chiffon over pink silk with pink satin trimmings and carried an arm bouquet of pink Killareny roses, and the bridesmaid wore a gown of pink silk and carried pink chrysanthemums. After the informal reception following the ceremony a wedding supper was served. The bride's table was placed in the dining room and was centered with brideroses. Upon their return from a short wedding journey Mr. and Mrs. Fairbank will live in Dewitt.
