A great many friends and admirers of the young couple assembled in the cathedral some time before the wedding took place and where they patiently awaited the event that took place.

The groom and his supporters, Dr. Buckley of Prescott and Mr. M.

The relatives of the bride and bridegroom were there in large numbers. The choir sang beautifully, rendering the service much more interesting and impressive. The bride was dressed in sky blue silk with white muslin and pink trimmings. The bridesmaids were attired in white trimmed with pink and blue satin.
