Shepherd-Morris Nuptials a Brilliant Social Event
A Bridegroom from Chicago
Home Ceremony Performed by Dean McNulty -- Many Well-Known People Among the Guests -- An Unusual Number of Matrimonial Events for One Evening --Two Church Weddings Among the Eleven
Michael J. Morris’ home, at Ward and Cross streets, was the scene at half past seven last evening of the wedding of Mr. Morris’ daughter, Josephine Marie, and Fred Reid Shepherd, of Chicago. The ceremony was performed at 7:30 by Rev. Dean McNulty, assisted by Rev. J. P. Morris, of Avondale, uncle to the bride.
The house was completely transformed with the floral decorations. The walls were literally hidden beneath coverings of flowers. Many leading society people of Paterson were in attendance, besides visitors from other places.
Mr. Shepherd was attended by Thomas Edward Smith, of Paterson, as best man. The ushers were Isaac A. Hall, Paterson; Colonel Peter H. Corr, Taunton, Mass., Edward Nesbitt Smith, Chicago; Erastus Blauvelt, Paterson; Leo M. Morris, Paterson, and Harry Lewis, Brooklyn.
The bride’s gown was of white satin, trimmed with duchess and point lace, with tulle veil. She wore a sunburst of diamonds, the gift of the bridegroom, and carried a bouquet of orchids and lilies of the valley, tied with gauze ribbon. In her hair was a jeweled comb, the gift of her uncle. The maid of honor, Miss Julia Shepherd, wore piuk[sic] silk mull, with point lace and crushed roses, and carried a bouquet of Golden Gate roses and orchis. Ms. M.J. Morris, the bride’s mother, wore light gray brocaded silk and duchess lace. Mrs. Edward S. Shepherd, the bridegroom’s mother, wore a black spangled lace gown over light green silk. The bridegroom’s gifts to his best man and the ushers were diamond pins, in the design of a shepherd’s crook. The bride’s gift to her maid of honor was a fleur-de-lis diamond pin.
Davis served the repast. Bridal favors of small white fans were given to each guest. The immediate group of friends seated at the bride’s table were given small silver loving cups for the men, engraved with the initials of the bride and groom; the lades received silver bells surmounted by a small cupid.
The large company of guests included Mayor and Mrs. John Hinchliffe, Mrs. Josephine Zeluff, Mr. and Mrs. E.I. Mercelis, Mr. and Mrs. L.
