"Billy" came for Helen & we all came home.
Edith stayed all night with me.
Oct. 5. Tues.
Lovely day & busy. Rode up to Ned's about 5 and had a last dear little chat with her.
She looked & was sweet. Took a bath & went to bed early - 9
o'clock to make up for last night.
Oct. 6. Wed.Ned's wedding day. A lovely morning but
cloudy later - a few sprinkles toward night. J.G.
hurried me off at 10 o'clock & I went to
Matie Arnold's & dressed to went over
to Ned's and found her all dressed.
Edith was there &
Freddie just arrived. Later Will came & "tried" the place to
stand, with me, and wanted me to try the wedding ring on Helen (but I made him do it) The various
Orchards came & the
12 Perfects (all but Lura) and Con &
Frank Davis & Gordon & the Thomases
& Dr. Durand
and Dossenbach's orchestra played
beautifuly
& Freddie gave the signal &
Will cut a caper & the
door opened & they came out - Ned did
look sweet - in her blue cloth suit & big black hat & boquet
of violets. I stood nearest to her - almost as near as Will - & the
ceremony (by Dr. Taylor) only took 3 minutes and the
people kissed her & Will
kissed the girls (He asked me beforehand if I would - "because I
never had!" - & I didn't
say "Yes.) Ned divided her boquet
& Mr. Thomas got the first bunch of violets
(ultimately Matie) & I the second & we
talked
1897.
