"Brillant Affair"
"The society event of the season took place in Biloxi yesterday forenoon, and it was truly a very brillant one. It was the solemnization of the marriage of Miss Teresa Lopez and Dr. H. M. Folkes, which took place at the Catholic Church at 11 o'clock, in the presence of a bright and handsome congregation of friends and admirers who assembled to witness the celebration of the nuptials. The altar of the church, always beautiful in itself, even unadorned, was most exquisitely and chastely decorated for the occasion with palms, flowers, evergreens and drapings of white ribbons. The simplest form of the impressive ceremony Catholic church was used by Father Alphonse, who was assisted by Father Blanc, who had come over from Bay St. Louis for the purpose. Promptly at 11 o'clock, the bridal party proceeded to the church. Arriving there the attendants preceeded the bride up the aisle to the chancel rail, the latter resting on the arm of her father, Mr. L. Lopez, while the wedding march was being rendered. At the altar they were met by the groom and his best man, Mr. William Wachenfeld, and the ceremony was begun by Rev. Father Alphonse with an admonition to the young folks upon the duties and responsibilities they were about to undertake, and the obligations they were about to assume toward each other. They were then duly pronounced man and wife by the priest, and dismissed with his blessings. The bridal party repaired without delay to the elegant and hospital home of Mr. L. Lopez, on Howard avenue, where a most sumptuous and elaborate breakfast had been prepared by Messrs. Francois Sarte and Ily Sabrio, the celebrated chefs, and which was served in a most delightful and appetizing manner. There were covers laid for about forty, consisting only of the members of the family and a very few invited guests who were intimate friends of the happy young couple. The menu could not have arranged in a more elegant way, nor the service more complete. At 1:30 the bridal party took their departure for the north and east, intending to spend about a month on their honeymoon, principally in New York, after which they will return and resume their residence in our little city. When departing they were given showers of rice, as well as the showers of congratulations and good wishes, (many by telegraph) for a long, happy and prosperous wedded life, in which every one in Biloxi will share heartily and sincerely. The bride's attendants were Misses Erena Lopez, May Young, Jennie Gillen; Mr. William Wachenfeld was the best man, and the ushers were Messrs. Wm. Grant, Wm. Gorenflo and John Hannon."
