A Pretty Wedding at the Reformed Church this Morning.
Quite a pretty wedding was solemnized at the Reformed church this morning at 11:30 o’clock. The contracting parties were Lillian Baker, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lycurgus A. Hedges and Dr. Henry T. Talbott, of Washington, D.C. The altar was beautifully trimmed with evergreen and flowers and potted plants of every description from the conservatories of Frederick’s popular florist E. Herman. As the bridal party entered the church a quartette choir, led by Prof. Smith, organist, sang Lohengrin’s “Bridal Chorus.” The ceremony was performed by the pastor, Rev. Dr. E.R. Eschbach in an impressive manner. The bride was becomingly attired in ashes of roses broad cloth, and carried a bouquet of white roses. The gentlemen were in conventional costume. The ushers were Hon. B.D. Gibson and Lieut. T. Lee Shirley, of Charlestown, W.Va.; Dr. W.P. Liggett, of Washington, D.C., and Frank C. Norwood, of this city. The spacious auditorium of the church was filled to repletion with friends of the bridal pair. After the nuptial benediction the newly wedded left to the melodious strains of Mendelsohn’s Wedding March. Mr. and Mrs. Talbott left on the B & O. 11:55 train for the eastern cities. The fair bride is a prominent and popular member of our social circles, and enters upon married life amidst the congratulations of a large circle of friends. The groom is a son of Hon. H.O. Talbott, banker of Charlestown, W.Va., grandson of the late Thos. Claggett, and a practicing physician in Washington, D.C. This wedding was the first one at which the “Bridal Chorus” was ever sung in this city, and it was exceedingly well rendered, the straining ending just as the bridal party reached the altar.
Nuptial Notes.
Mrs. Thomas Clagett gave a “tea” at seven o’clock late evening to a few of the most intimate friends of Dr. Talbott. The event was a thoroughly enjoyable one and everybody had a good time.
Mr. and Mrs. L.E. Hedges gave a reception at their residence on East Church street last evening between 8 and 10 o’clock, which was attended by many of the friends and relatives of their daughter Miss Lillie and her fiancée Dr. Talbott. A handsome collation was served during the course of the evening which was much enjoyed by those present. An opportunity was given at the time to see the wedding presents which were numerous, handsome and costly. The grooms gift was a solid silver service. His father sent a check for $500. Mr. and Mrs. Hedges presented them with a check for $1,200. The presents included silverware, cut glass and many useful and ornamental articles.
