Delany (brother of the bridegroom), assisted by the Rev. P. J. O'Neill. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a costume of cream crepoline, trimmed with silk lace, and the identical veil and wreath of orange blossoms worn by her mother on the occasion of her marriage. She was attended by three bridesmaids— Misses Mary and Maggie Traynor (sisters) and Miss Delany (sister of the bridegroom), while Miss Mary Timpany was flower girl. The bridegroom's gift to the bride was a gold brooch, set with diamonds and rubies, and to the bridesmaids gold brooches. After the ceremony the wedding party drove to the residence of the bride's parents, where the breakfast was laid. The Rev. Father Delany presided, and several toasts were proposed and responded to.
