Beggs, Annie C./
Wray, William J |
One of those occurrences which unusually cause considerable excitement in the community and makes the hearts of many young people go pit-a-pat took place on Wednesday, Feb. 4th, at the home of Mr. W. J. Beggs, near here. The persons responsible for the commotion were his eldest daughter Annie, and Mr. W. J. Wray, an enterprising young farmer living near Millbank. The young gentleman apparently thought it not well to live alone and accordingly choose to rob this community of one of its fairest and most respected young maidens. The marriage ceremony, which took place in the drawing room of Mr. Beggs’ new brick residence was performed by Rev. Mr. McKinnon of Milverton, in the presence of about one hundred and seventy guests, many of whom came a considerable distance to do honor to the occasion. Detroit, Georgetown, Dresden, Port Colborne, Drayton, and other distant points being represented, while some who could not attend on account of the greatness of the distance sent congratulatory telegrams. At four o’clock Miss Addie Coote, of Crosshill, a cousin of the bride, played the wedding march, while the bridal party took up its position in order. The bride who was given away by her father, certainly presented the appearance of a perfect bride “adorned for her husband.” She was dressed in white organdie over blue; trimmed with chiffon and ribbon and wore a bridal veil and orange blossoms. Her travelling suit was of gray with blue silk waist trimmed with white applique and chiffon. The bridesmaid, Miss Jennie Beggs, was attired in white organdie trimmed with lace and ribbons. The groomsman was Mr. J. Wray, of Detroit, a brother of the groom. After the ceremony Miss Coote played the bridal chorus while the congratulations were being extended to the young couple. The array of presents was endless and superb, a few of which are worthy of mention :— a gold chain, gift of the groom to the bride, a fur coat, given to the bride by her father, a couch, dinner setts [sic], tea setts [sic], etc., etc. In the evening the Linwood brass band appeared on the scene and delighted the large assemblage with several choice selections.
