Hubbard - Briggs Wedding January 3, 1927

From the West Conesville correspondent:  Married at the Baptist parsonage at Flat Creek, Monday 10 am, January 3, 1927 by the Rev Smith, Miss Ella, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Briggs of this place, to Merel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Hubbard Of Flat Creek.  John H Briggs, brother of the bride, acted in the capacity of best man, and Lorraine Hubbard, sister of the groom, was maid of honor.  The bride was becomingly attired in light blue Canton crepe with hat and coat to match.  The maid of honor wore light green satin, while the groom and best man wore powder blue suits.  The bride has been a favorite among her friends and acquaintances and especially among her schoolmates and the wish of her legion of friends is for a bright and prosperous future.  The groom comes with a good recommendation although his acquaintance with many of us is slight.  The happy couple left almost immediately after the ceremony to spend their honeymoon with relatives at Schenectady, Amsterdam, etc.  On their return the bride's parents will tender a reception at the home of the bride's grandparent, Mr. and Mrs. John D Bartley.

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
