WEDDED BENEATH
A FLORAL CANOPY.
Marriage of Mr. Pittman and Miss
Noyes Last Night.
SCENE ONE OF GREAT BEAUTY.
Spacious Church is Thronged With
Friends.—Military Company an Es
cort of Honor.—Couple Leave Upon
Extended Bridal Tour North.
One of the prettiest church weddings
that ever occurred in this city w’as that
of Mr. Henry W. Pittman and Miss
Mary Lou Noyes, which happy event
took place last evening at 8:30 o’clock
at the First Methodist church.
On account of the popularity and
high social standing of the young coup
le their nuptials had been looked for
ward to with much pleasure by a host
of friends. Miss Noyes has long been
considered one of the most beautiful
young women in the city and hei
charming disposition and lovely char
acter has won for her many admirers
and friends.
Never did a bride look more sub
limely beautiful.
“No Grecian chisel could ere trace
A lovelier form or fairer face.”
The handsome groom. Mr. Pittman
whom everyone knows, is to be heartil]
congratulated upon winning such i
charming life companion.
The Methodist church never present
ed a scene of more dazzling beauty
with its myriad lights and exquisiti
floral decorations. The wedding seem
was a picture of loveliness as the lad]
attendants, Misses Minnie John Wil
liams, Mamie Goode and Deani<
Noyes, exquisitely attired in white or
gandy with satin trimmings, enterec
the sanctuary, and beautiful indeei
were they as they stood within th<
chancel. ’
The bride, elegantly gowned in whit
French silk mousselline, attended bj
her maid of honor, Miss Rosalind
Smith, attired in lovely pink organ
dy, approached the altar from the wes
door and was joined by the groom am
his best man, Mr. John Wooten,
The groomsmen, Messrs. J. M
Smith, W. A. Wooten and G. W, Pitt
man, who were in waiting within the
chancel, were joined by the ushers
Messrs. Charles Willis, Lee Hansford
John W. Shiver, Z. S. Childers and L,
G. McKinney, which completed th<
handsome wedding party.
The Americus Light Infantry, o
which Mr. Pittman was a gallant mem
ber, came as a special escort to thei
comrade on his wedding eve, and ii
their full dress uniform lent an inpir
ing addition to the already perfec
wedding circle.
The bride and groom stood beneatl
a magnificent floral arch, and midst th(
strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding
march, rendered by Mrs. Julia Everett
the ceremony was impressively per
formed by Rev. W. J. Noyes, father o
the bride, assisted by Rev. G. W
Mathews, after wLich the bridal parti
passed slowly along the aisles of tin
crowded church and to the home of th<
bride’s parents, where congratulation!
were tendered.
ftlr. and Mrs. Pittman left by tin
9:36 train for Washington. One of th<
interesting features of this pretty wed
ding was the beautiful solo “Becausi
I Love You, Dear” rendered by Mis;
Mary Granberry prior to the ceremony
Mr. and Mrs. Pittman were the re
cipients of many beautiful and costly
presents, the Knights of Pythias pres
enting an "exquisite gift, as did tin
Americus Light Infantry. No young
couple ever started life under more
cheering auspices, and all America?
wishes Mr. Pittman and his bonny
bride a delightful wedding trip and i
safe return home.
