WEDDING CHRISTMAS-DETERLING

[Welland Telegraph April 24, 1903]

A sweet and dainty bride and a manly and devoted groom were the central figures of a very pretty home wedding last Wednesday afternoon at three o’clock, when Miss Ida S. Deterling, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Deterling, and Mr. William Christmas of Port Colborne, were united in marriage by Rev. Grum of Sherkston. The bride was attired in delicate white silk trimmed with white braid, and wore a bridal veil and orange blossoms; she indeed, looked pretty and winning. The bridesmaids were Miss Amelia Deterling, sister of the bride, and Miss Lottie Snider, while the groom was ably assisted by Messrs. Wm. Cook and Martin Deterling. The bridesmaids looked very pretty, attired in white and blue cloth. After congratulations and well wishes, all sat down to a grand wedding dinner. The bride was the recipient of many handsome and costly presents, showing the high esteem in which she was held. Mr.and Mrs Christmas left on the evening train for Buffalo for a short honeymoon. The bride’s going away suit was blue lady’s cloth, trimmed white and a black picture hat.
