Miss Bessie Webb Millett, daughter of Andrew J. Millett of Salem, became the wife of Charles F. Morey of Billerica Thursday afternoon. The ceremony was performed by the Rev E. P. Farnham at 3:30 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents, Hawthorne street.
The knot that made them man and wife was tied while they stood in front of a bower of hydrangeas, which made a beautiful background for the occasion.
There were about 30 relatives and friends present at the ceremony and from 4 to 6 o'clock a reception was held, at which the hosts of friends of both parties came to wish the young couple much joy in their future.
The bride was attired in a simple, but most becoming gown of white muslin and carried a bouquet of bride's roses. Little Edna Full was the flower girl and made a most bewitching little maid. The users were Edward M. Full of Salem and N. H. Hutchins of Billerica.
A wedding supper was served in the dining room, which was resplendent in goldenrod and potted ferns.
Among the myriad of beautiful gifts with which the friends of the young couple remembered them, was a chest of solid silver forks, spoons, etc., from Wheatland, Allen & Rogers, where Mrs. Morey formerly held a position as stenographer, a check for [illegible] from the Boston Plate and Window Glass Co., where Mr. Morey is employed, and also a cut glass bowl and Royal Worcester vase from Mr. Morey's fellow employees. Mr. and Mrs. Morey will take up their residence at 22 Hawthorne street, Salem. |
