WEDDED ‘MIDST LILIES AND ROSES.

A Beautiful Ceremony Last Evening.
DR. HINDLE and MISS DESHLER
A Magnificent Wedding at Christ Episcopal Church Followed by House Reception
                One of the leading social events of the year was the marriage of Dr. Frank Hindle and Miss Katherine Deshler, which took place last evening in Christ Episcopal Church.
                The wedding was notable not only on account of the social prominence of the bride and groom and the elegance of the arrangements but also by reason of the extremely wide circle of warm friends of which Dr. Hindle and his fair bride are the centre.
                Miss Katherine Deshler, the bride, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Deshler, of Livingston avenue.  Born in this city, educated in the public schools and the local seminary, her charming and sympathetic disposition have attached to her a wonderfully large number of friends. For some years she has been one of the most successful teachers in the Sunday School of Christ Episcopal Church. Her class are so thoroughly devoted to her that they have secured her promise that she will continue to be their teacher.
                The groom, Dr. Frank Lawton Hindle, is the son of the late John N. Hindle [sic], of Paterson. He is a graduate of the Philadelphia Dental College and stands well at the head of his profession. Three years ago he came to this city and formed a partnership with Dr. J. G. Palmer. Some time after he assumed entire control of the firm’s practice. He is recognized as one of the city’s leading professional men.
                The church ceremony was one of the grandest that has ever occurred in Christ Church. Over 700 invitations had been issued, and the body of the church and the galleries were filled with guests. Long before the set for the ceremony the carriages began to roll up to the huge awning which stretched from the Church street gate to the door of the sacred edifice, and deposited their attractive freights. At one time a line of carriages stretched from Netison to George streets and nearly choked up the narrow thoroughfare.
                The church presented a beautiful appearance. The intense black and gleaming white of the gentlemen’s evening attire, contrasted with the magnificent toilettes of the fairer sex, made up a splendid picture. The altar and aisles, under Tice’s skillful hands, were transformed into veritable floral bowers. Roses and lilies fairly covered the altar, while potted plants, trailing vines and enormous bunches of cut flowers filled up the chancel. The body of the church was beautiful with floral decorations.
                The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. E. B. Joyce, rector of the church.
                There were no bridesmaids nor maid of honor. The bride was escorted by her father.
                The best man was Dr. Edwin N. Clark, of Taunton, Mass. Dr. Clark was a classmate and chum of the groom at the Philadelphia Dental College and they have always been the closest friends. After graduation they conducted an office in partnership at Cottage City, Mass, for three years.
                The ushers, six in number, were Thomas E. Smith, of Paterson; Jay Langan, of Perth Amboy; William H. Price, Edward B. Wyckoff, Alexander Hardenbergh and George R, Deshler, all of this city.
                The ushers, of course, all wore evening dress. They and the best man were presented by the groom with beautiful clover leaf pins, each set with three diamond.
                The bride wore a superb costume of cream satin brocade, with skirt plain in front, cut en demi tratue. The waist was trimmed with magnificent Duchess lace and pearl passementerie and the collar was a high stock. She wore a veil of silk muile [sic] that reached to her feet. It was fastened at the head with a spray of orange blossoms and clasped with a diamond brooch, the gift of the groom. She carried a huge cluster of lilies of the valley.
                The arrangement and entrance of the bridal party were at once pretty and novel.
                As the soft, sweet notes of the wedding march sounded out, the groom and best man entered from the ante-room at the left of the altar and stood at the upper step of the platform, awaiting the ushers and bride, who approached from the corridor of the church. The bride, who was escorted by her father, was preceded by her six ushers, who walked two-by-two, those shortest in stature leading, followed by two somewhat taller, and these by Mr. Edward B. Wyckoff, of this city, and Mr. Thomas E. Smith, of Paterson, both of whom are very much above average height. As they came to the platform, which is reached by two steps, the first two ushers, mounted to the platform, the second two stood upon the step, while the third pair stood at the foot of the platform. Each line of ushers drew aside, and through the aisle thus formed the groom and best man advanced to meet the bride and her father.
                When Mr. Deshler had formally given up his daughter, according to the impressive ceremony of the Episcopal; Church, the entire bridal party stepped upon the platform and Father Joyce performed the ceremony of marriage. A ring was used.
                As the bride and groom with their attendants and guests let the church a triumphant joyous sounding march was played. John W. Durham was at the organ while this was supplemented by the music of a violin and violoncello. Mr. J Condict, of Plainfield, was the violinist and J. L. Wickes, of this city, the cellist.
                The playing of the nuptial music by three pieces was an innovation and a most successful one. The effect was wondrously beautiful, the violin and cello giving a completeness that the organ alone could not accomplish. It was the first time anything of the sort has been tried in this city and the effect will certainly warrant its continuance at future marriage ceremonies. It was the opinion of all who attended the church service that the music was the finest ever heard in the church.
                While this was due in part to the number of Instruments the skill of the musicians was of course the greatest factor in producing the result. New Brunswick is to be congratulated upon having two such splendid musicians as Mr. Dunham and Mr. Wickes. The work of Mr. Condict was also superb.
                The nuptial music was selected with the greatest taste and skill.
                Three selections were rendered before the bridal party entered, the Finale o Haydn’s “Surprise Symphonie,” Fesca’s “Barcarole,” and a serenade by Heisman. As the bridal [arty entered the wedding march from Wagner’s “Lohengrin” was played while for the recessional Mendelsohn’s wedding march was rendered.
                After the church ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents, on Livingston avenue. Only the bridal party and the immediate relatives of the two families were present at the house reception.
                The spacious parlors of Mr. Deshler’s residence were decorated with smilax, ivy, climbing asparagus and other vines that were looped from the chandeliers, arranged about the mirrors and hung from every picture. The effect of the tasteful decoration was very beautiful.
                After the exchange of the usual congratulations, good wishes and salutations, an elaborate wedding supper was served. Wikoff was the caterer. Following this the parlors were cleared and the bridal couple and their guests enjoyed the merry dance to the inspiring strains of music furnished by Professor Garland.
                Mr. and Mrs. Hindle soon took their departure on an early train for Philadelphia. They will be absent about two weeks and will take an extended Southern trip which will be arranged that a few days will be spent at Old Point Comfort and at Washington.
                The bride was the recipient of a very large number of magnificent presents. The display completely filled a large room, and was a most attractive one, including as it did the richest and latest novelties in cut glass, porcelain, silver and gold, as well as a number of superb banquet lamps, chairs and tables.
                After the departure of the groom and bride the guests spent several hours in dancing and conversation, and it was well on toward morning when the gathering dispersed. Among those at the house reception were the following’
                Mr. and Mrs. James Deshler, parents of the bride; Mrs. J. H. Hindle of Paterson, mother of the groom; Miss Louise Deshler, Miss Helen Deshler, Charles D. Deshler, Charles Deshler, Miss Kate Deshler, Miss Edith Deshler, Mr. and Mrs. Frank K. Runyon, Mr. and Mrs. George Wilmot, Miss Jane Holcombe, George Deshler, of this city; Dr. Edwin N. Clark, Taunton, Mass.; Jay Langan, Perth Amboy; William H. Price, Edward B. Wykoff, Alexander Hardenbergh, of New Brunswick; Mr. and Mrs. Charles  B. Hindle, Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Fordyce, Mr. and Mrs. John Spear, Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Morris, Miss Josephine Morris, Mr. and Mrs. John L. Lee [sic], Mrs. Mary Zeluff, all of Paterson; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hindle, Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Wheaton, Orange; Misses Anna and Clara Ross, Miss Cora L. Duncan, Mr. C. Herbert Miller, Miss Lottie Ducloss, Miss Mabel Dixon, Miss Grace Dunham, Miss Sallie Farmer
                During Dr. Hindle’s absence from this city his former partner, Dr. J. G. Palmer, will be at his office, 421 George street, and attend his practice.
                Mr. and Mrs. Hindle, on their return to this city, will reside on George street.
