REED - BEACH

A PRETTY HOME WEDDING -
The society event of the season at Richmond Mills was the occasion of the marriage of two of our most popular young people, Mr. Robert F. Reed and Miss Spedie M. Beach, Wednesday afternoon, at the home of the mother of the bride. About ninety relatives and friends of the happy couple from Massachusetts, Buffalo, Rochester, Lima, Bristol, Canadice and Richmond were in attendance, who, by their presence and manner, attested their keen interest in the occasion.
        
The house was prettily decorated with ferns and carnations. The day opened a little foggy, but later the sky cleared and a perfect October day lent its characteristic influence to grace the event. At the appointed hour the bridal party made their appearance. The contracting parties were escorted by Mr. Bernard R. Beach as best man and Miss Florence Reed as maid of honor. The lovely bride was becomingly gowned in a beautiful brocaded cream silk, trimmed with lace and chiffon, and carried white roses. Miss Reed wore white organdie over blue, and carried carnations. The gentlemen wore regulation suits. Miss Zelia Reed of Livonia presided at the organ.

It was very fitting that the ceremony could be performed by the Rev. S. T. Westhafer of Richmond avenue church, Buffalo, brother in-law of the groom. It was an uncommon occasion for the reverend gentleman, which he fully appreciated, and he performed his part very appropriately and impressively. It was also fitting that he should be assisted by the Rev. Mr. Day of Honeoye, the former pastor of the bride and groom, and who married the parents of the bride twenty-three years ago, and had also performed a like service for uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, of both.       

After the ceremony refreshments of a high order were served. Miss Ida Plimpton and Miss Edna Pemberton, both cousins of the bride, were in charge, which insured an acceptable service. Congratulations being in order, they were most heartily given and graciously received. The bride and groom were handsomely remembered. Amid showers of rice and general good will, they departed for a short wedding trip to Albany, New York, Fall River and Taunton, until Nov. 2, after which they will be at home. They will live in town at the ancestral home of the groom. We welcome them to all the joys which may come to them.      R. C. B.

I don’t know if the “R. C. B.” is the author’s initials or the paper’s. It is possible that it stands for Richmond Charles Beach, who would have been the brides uncle.
