At the Altar of Wedlock.
One of the prettiest home wed-
dings of the season occured at
the home of Rev. and Mrs. A. B.
Welch, Tuesday evening, Janu-
ary, 10, 1911 at eight o'clock.
Only a few of the friends and ac-
quaintances of the family and
especial friends of the bride,
were, in attendance. At eight
o'clock sharp, Messers. Norris,
Welch and Ben began to play the
wedding march on piano and vi-
olin, and this was the signal for
the entrance of bride and groom.
The bride was gowned in a
beautiful garment of lace, with
satin underdress, and was with-
out the usual bridal veil. She
carried a shower bouquet of
white carnation and all eyes
looked with admiration upon the
beautiful bride. The groom
was attired in the regulation
black suit, with white vest and
tie, and looked as handsome as a
Greek god. After all had as-
sembled in the parlor. Rev. A. B.
Welch, father of the bride, in a
very impressive, yet simple way,
said the words that made Mr.
Chas. Victor Moore and Miss
Ruth Welch one entwain. After
the ceremony, congratulations
were in order and everyone was
more than anxious to shake the
hands of this newly wedded cou-
ple, and wish them a long and
happy life down thru life's wed-
ded vale. After the wedding
ceremony and congratulations
of friends, the doors of the din-
ing room were thrown open and
the happy wedding throng were
seated around the festive board,
where delicious light refresh-
ments were served. The menue
consisted of fruit salad, olives and
sandwiches, as the first course,
followed by ice cream and cake.
In our judgment this was one
of the most impressive weddings
that we have ever attended. The
simplicity of it appealed to every-
one. We would call it 'an old
fashioned Southern aristocratic
wedding, with the show cut out.
The wedding presents were
numerous, beautiful and artistic,
as well as useful. The bride is
the daughter of Rev. and Mrs.
A. B. Welch of this city, who
have always been prominent in
church and society circles of As-
permont. Rev. Welch has been
pastor of the Presbyterian
church of this place for some
time and has a statewide reputa-
tion as an able Presbyterian
divine. Miss Ruth is a beautiful
and highly accomplished young
woman and was loved and ad-
mired by all who knew her. Her
absence in the social circle will
be missed. The groom, Mr.
Chas. Victor Moore, is a promi-
nent business man of Louisiana,
comes of an old Southern family.
He is a young man with rare en-
dowments and has a bright future
before him in the business world.
The Star joins all in wishing this
handsome couple a long and
happy life. Mr. and Mrs. Moore
left on the 5 o'clock train Wed-
nesday evening for their future
home in Louisiana. Of course
they received the accustomed
rice shower on their departure.
Following is a list of names of the
guests who attended the wed-
ding:
Eula Mae Rollins, Curtis L.
Mayes, Lucretia Kellar, Richard
H. McCarty, Emma Guest, Oscar
Ford, Clark Hopkins, Mrs. Clark
Hopkins, Ethel Ferrell, J. A.
Lee, Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Lanier,
Norris Welch, Flora Taylor,
Mattie Johnson, Mrs. Richard
