DYE, NANNIE E. -  Pleasant Wedding Festivities - Mr. and Mrs. W. H. H. Dye request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter on Thursday, September fourteenth from seven to ten P. M., 1876.  This was the reading of the invitations that two weeks ago announced the approaching marriage of Miss Nannie E. Dye, the fair daughter of our townsman, W. H. H. Dye, Esq., to Mr. Walter Worman, an event which took place as announced, last Thursday evening, with the most pleasant wedding festivities.  The elegant apartments of Mr. Dye's large residence were thrown open for the reception of a large number of invited guests--friends and relatives of the parties whose nuptials were to be celebrated.  The house, already handsomely furnished, was rendered more attractive and beautiful, by extensive floral decorations.  The double room in which the ceremony was performed was particularly beautiful.  The arch between the two rooms was profusely trimmed with evergreens and __eroses; and suspended from the the center of the arch was a large and beautiful floral bell--a symbol of the merry wedding bells which enter largely into all poetry and songs of such occasions.

THE CEREMONY

  At a few minutes after eight o'clock the bridal party entered the room in the following order: the 2nd attendants, Dr. F. W. Thomas and Miss Annie Worman, entered, the lady stepping to the left and the gentleman to the right; next came the 1st attendants, Mr. Chas. F. Snyder and Miss Mattie Dye; next came bridegroom elect, accompanying the bride's mother; last followed the bride elect, leaning on the arm of her father.
   The bride was dressed in a handsome creamy white brocade silk, made with train and elaborately puffed, and decorated.  On her head was a wreath of orange blossoms, and a veil of long-flowing tulle.  She looked pretty enough for any bride.
   The groom was in fall evening dress--black cloth, swallow-tail coat, white vest, tie and gloves, and he was as happy as e'er groom dare be.
   The bride's maids were handsome dresses.  Miss Dye a cream colored gross grain silk, short sleeves and train and Miss Worman a cream colored brocade, made same style.  Their attendants were in full evening dress.
   Rev. H. L. Badger, Rector of St. James Episcopal Church, Piqua, performed the marriage ceremony, reading from the Prayer Book that beautiful and impressive ceremony of the Episcopal Church--the contracting parties repeating appropriate portions after him.  After the minister had pronounced the words man and wife, and closed by asking the blessing of Heaven upon the newly-married couple, they received congratulations; first of their parents and relatives, then of the numerous friends.
   After this guests were invited to partake of a sumptous repast to which full justice was done--the best mark of their appreciation of the success of the caterer in getting up an elegant supper.
   Mrs. Worman was the recipient of a large number of beautiful and costly presents.  They were arranged in one corner of the upper hallway, and drew forth repeated expressions of admiration from observers.  Among them were a fine and complete set of dishes--beautiful gold band china--the gift of Mrs. Dye; a set of ivory handled silver knives, silver table sets, goblets, butter dishes, fruit dishes, water pitcher, cake dishes, card receivers, napkin rings, mantle ornaments, and many other very handsome articles, which will be to her a lasting testimony of the affection of her friends on this the happiest day of her life.
   Among the guests present from a distance were: Mr. Chas. Lane, Mr. Harry Gilliespie, Mr. Chas. Gebhart, Mr. Manning Craighead, Mr. Fred P. Beaver, Mr. Rufe Woerall, Mr. Josh Johnson, Mr. M. Worman, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Phelps, Mr. and Mrs. John Berry, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Raber, Mrs. Esterbrook, Mrs. Ed Best, Miss Maggie Cain, Miss Lucretia Lentzy, Miss Sallie Worman, Miss Lucy F.

Collins, of Indianapolis.
   The newly married couple left Troy on Friday morning for an Eastern trip--Niagara and the Centennial.  They carry with them the heartfelt wish of a large number of friends for a long and happy wedded life.

WORMAN, WALTER - Pleasant Wedding Festivities - Mr. and Mrs. W. H. H. Dye request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter on Thursday, September fourteenth from seven to ten P. M., 1876.  This was the reading of the invitations that two weeks ago announced the approaching marriage of Miss Nannie E. Dye, the fair daughter of our townsman, W. H. H. Dye, Esq., to Mr. Walter Worman, an event which took place as announced, last Thursday evening, with the most pleasant wedding festivities.  The elegant apartments of Mr. Dye's large residence were thrown open for the reception of a large number of invited guests--friends and relatives of the parties whose nuptials were to be celebrated.  The house, already handsomely furnished, was rendered more attractive and beautiful, by extensive floral decorations.  The double room in which the ceremony was performed was particularly beautiful.  The arch between the two rooms was profusely trimmed with evergreens and __eroses; and suspended from the the center of the arch was a large and beautiful floral bell--a symbol of the merry wedding bells which enter largely into all poetry and songs of such occasions.

THE CEREMONY

   At a few minutes after eight o'clock the bridal party entered the room in the following order: the 2nd attendants, Dr. F. W. Thomas and Miss Annie Worman, entered, the lady stepping to the left and the gentleman to the right; next came the 1st attendants, Mr. Chas. F. Snyder and Miss Mattie Dye; next came bridegroom elect, accompanying the bride's mother; last followed the bride elect, leaning on the arm of her father.
   The bride was dressed in a handsome creamy white brocade silk, made with train and elaborately puffed, and decorated.  On her head was a wreath of orange blossoms, and a veil of long-flowing tulle.  She looked pretty enough for any bride.
   The groom was in fall evening dress--black cloth, swallow-tail coat, white vest, tie and gloves, and he was as happy as e'er groom dare be.
   The bride's maids were handsome dresses.  Miss Dye a cream colored  gross grain silk, short sleeves and train and Miss Worman a cream colored brocade, made same style.  Their attendants were in full evening dress.
   Rev. H. L. Badger, Rector of St. James Episcopal Church, Piqua, performed the marriage ceremony, reading from the Prayer Book that beautiful and impressive ceremony of the Episcopal Church--the contracting parties repeating appropriate portions after him.  After the minister had pronounced the words man and wife, and closed by asking the blessing of Heaven upon the newly-married couple, they received congratulations; first of their parents and relatives, then of the numerous friends.
   After this guests were invited to partake of a sumptous repast to which full justice was done--the best mark of their appreciation of the success of the caterer in getting up an elegant supper.
   Mrs. Worman was the recipient of a large number of beautiful and costly presents.  They were arranged in one corner of the upper hallway, and drew forth repeated expressions of admiration from observers.  Among them were a fine and complete set of dishes--beautiful gold band china--the gift of Mrs. Dye; a set of ivory handled silver knives, silver table sets, goblets, butter dishes, fruit dishes, water pitcher, cake dishes, card receivers, napkin rings, mantle ornaments, and many other very handsome articles, which will be to her a lasting testimony of the affection of her friends on this the happiest day of her life.
   Among the guests present from a distance were: Mr. Chas. Lane, Mr. Harry Gilliespie, Mr. Chas. Gebhart, Mr. Manning Craighead, Mr. Fred P. Beaver, Mr. Rufe Woerall, Mr. Josh Johnson, Mr. M. Worman, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Phelps, Mr. and Mrs. John Berry, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Raber, Mrs. Esterbrook, Mrs. Ed Best, Miss Maggie Cain, Miss Lucretia Lentzy, Miss Sallie Worman, Miss Lucy F. Collins, Miss Jessie Piltz, of Dayton; Mrs. Laura Hall, Mrs. Lulu Dana, and Miss Virgie Clayton, of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Weller, of Tecumseh, Mich., Mr. Defrees Crittan and wife, of Springfield; Mr. John G. Collins, of Indianapolis.
   The newly married couple left Troy on Friday morning for an Eastern trip--Niagara and the Centennial.  They carry with them the heartfelt wish of a large number of friends for a long and happy wedded life.  September 16, 1876 (MU)

YAGER, EDWARD C. - Miss Mary F. Prill, one of Troy's fairest daughters, was married, in Piqua, on Thursday evening last, to Mr. Edward C.

Kennedy, of the Methodist Church.  Our young men lack enterprise, or else they would not permit their Piqua neighbors to come down here and steal away our pretty girls in this manner.  Nevertheless Ed. is to be congratulated, which we do most heartily, and wish him and his fair young bride a long and happy life.  December 16, 1876 (MU)
