1924 Cedrus Yearbook

The CEDRUS 1924 ••• Mock Wedding VERY INTERESTING EVENT of last year was the mock wedding.This memorable happening was held at the home of Lucile Johnson. Ai the time grew near, all was astir with excitement, but not one word es- caped to the boys. The night set had arrived, and all, decked out in their best apparel wended 'their way down Xenia Ave., with the ex- ception of two girls, who later in the evening made a thrilling and startling entrance through a window. They had received gentle treatment, in the way of having their hands and feet bound, halters on their heads, and a nice promenade on the Columbus pike. The house was beautifully decorated with chrysanthemums. The guests were ushered into the large reception hall and breathlessly awaited the arrival of the bride and groom. Amid this expectant silence a sudden stir was heard on the stair, and a twist- ing of heads followed as the old familiar strain, "Here Comes the Bride," pealed forth. The bridal procession was coming, lead by the flower girls, followed by the bride, Marjorie Wright, and bridesmaids, up to the altar, where awaited the groom, Hazel Williams, and Rev. Somers. The pair were married under an arch of ferns, lilies and chrysanthemums. The bride was very lovely in her white crepe de chine dress, carrying her bridal bouquet. This solemn performance was at this point interrupted by the arrival of uninvited guests who assisted in taking the marriage vows; and giving advice as to how it should be managed. This untimely interruption was welcomed and expected as a part of the program. This was followed by a four course dinner. The bride's table was beautifully decorated in yellow and white. The salad had disappeared, the ice cream had seemingly melted, but these slight clouds of irritatior and disappointment were soon forgotten in the pleasure of the evening. The bridal cake was cut and each guest received a piece which doubtless brought many pleasant dreams. The mar- riage feast broke up at a late hour and after many congratulations and good wishes jhad been showered upon the newly married pair, the guests all departed. R.
