.....The Boonton Bulletin of Thursday says: “Yesterday afternoon, at 2 o’clock, Mr. A.W. Zabriskie was united in matrimony to Miss Emma Cunningham, by Rev. Dr. Duryea, of the Second Reformed Church of Paterson. After the ceremony was performed the bridal pair, accompanied by a number of guests, came to the residence of the groom’s father, Mr. Abram H. Zabriskie, of Lower Montville. Last evening a reception tion[sic] was given. The bride was beautifully attired in a plum colored brocaded satin and the groom in the customary black broadcloth. There were a large number of guests present, all of whom sat down to tables groaning with substantials and all the delicacies of the season. The tables presented a beautiful appearance. The festivities of the evening were kept up until a late hour and the numerous guest enjoyed themselves unusually well. We noticed a number of handsome presents for the bride, and heard of a large number more at Paterson. After the bridal tour is over, the happy pair will return to Paterson, where they will occupy a residence on North Main street, which is furnished and ready for occupancy.”
