Last evening at the Baptist Church occurred the wedding of Miss Rosanna Cuppy, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. WT Cuppy and Mr. William E. Smythe. The Church was profusely decorated with wild roses and ferns and a large number of friends of the young people were present. A musical program of 5 numbers was rendered by 6 young ladies - Misses Maude and Mamie Straughn, Alberta Hanna, Nellie White, Pearl Guy and Maye Demaree under the direction of Mrs. TL Hanna. Promptly at 8 o'clock the bridal party entered the cruch, and was met at the door by the 6 young ladies and preceded by them to the altar, singing the wedding chorus from the Swedish Wedding March. After them came the bridesmaids, Misses Bessie Wolfe and Carrie Stout with the ushers Messrs. John McCoy and TB Wright. Then came the little flower girls, Ruth Baker and Margery Cuppy, nieces of the groom and bride respectively, by the Maid of Honor, Miss Etta Smythe and next came the bride upon the arm of her father. The party met the bridegroom and his best man, Prof. TE Groninger at the altar steps. The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Cuppy, and the beautiful ring service was used. Mrs. TL Hanna played Mendelssohn's wedding march softly throughout the entire ceremony, and the Swedish march as the party left the altar. The bride's gown was of white Swiss muslin, with trimmings of white satin and valenciennes lace, white Crepe de Chine veil and carried Bride roses. The bridesmaids wore pink organdie with trimmings of pink satin and carried pink roses; and the maid of honor was attired in nile green liberty silk with green satin and chiffon trimmings and carried pink roses. A reception was held at the home of the bride from 8:30 to 11, where delicious refreshments were served. The rooms were tastefully decorated with smilax, wild roses and ferns. The presents were unusually numerous and valuable. At 11:00 the bride and groom left for Crawfordsville to take the train for an extended wedding tour.
