UNIQUE AND IMPOSING NUPTIALS
   Reception at the Home of the Bride's Parents - a Social Event of High Order- Wedding Presents in Profusion - Eight Bridesmaids and Eight Groomsmen do the Honors to a Popular Couple.
   The spacious auditorium of St Columba Church was comfortably filled last evening, the occasion being the nuptials of John F. Golden, of Morris, and Miss May Joseph Kelly of East Ottawa. It was twenty minutes of nine when the bridal party arrived and the large congregation was treated to a unique and, by the way, one of the prettiest wedding services ever seen in St Columba. Rev Dean Keating, assisted by Rev Father Meehan, of Morris, and Rev Father Humphreys of this city, performed the ceremony. At the sound of the wedding march on the organ, the bridal cortege moved down the center aisle of the church in the following order: The eight ushers, led by Mr George Kelly, brother of the bride came in single file, followed by the maid of honor, Miss Flora Kelly, sister of the bride, followed at a respectful distance by the bride and eight bridesmaids two by two. As the march from the entrance began, Rev Dean Keating and the reverend fathers who assisted him came out of the sanctuary accompanied by the groom, Mr Golden and his brother, Will Golden, of Minonk, followed by six altar boys.   Arriving at the chancel rail, the groom and his brother stepped out and met the maid of honor and the bride. The ceremony was the simplest form used and occupied not to exceed two minutes, the words being pronounced by  Rev Keating, after which the Rev Father Meehan, of Morris, delivered a splendid address to Mr and Mrs John F. Golden on happiness, marriage and its obligations.
   The bride was attired in a handsome dress of white silk with lace effects and full veil. The maid of honor wore pink silk with pearl ornaments and the bridesmaids all wore gowns of white nun's veiling.
   A reception followed immediately after at the splendid home of Mr and Mrs Martin Kelly, 806(?) East Congress street. It was fully ten o'clock before the congratulations were all said and the 200 guests which assembled, were either comfortably engaged in conversation in and about the house, or on the spacious,  (word illegible) lawn which surrounds the beautiful residence of the bride's parents. The house was illuminated from cellar to attic the lawn strung with chinese lanterns, presenting indeed, a fairy scene for few handsomer residences or grounds can be found in the city of Ottawa than those of Mr and Mrs Kelly. A sumptuous wedding dinner was served and it was 2:30 a.m. before the last of the assembled guests had ben fed. The entertainment was of a high order throughout and the event will long be remembered as one of the prettiest weddings ever witnessed in Ottawa.
   Mr John F. Golden is one of the firm of Blake, Kelly and Golden, attorneys at law at Morris, a young man who studied and graduated in this city from the office of Attorney General Moloney. His three year residence in Ottawa has made for him a circle of friends limited only by his aquaintaince. As the revered father from Morris said in his address, he had known him a great many years; he knew him to be a man averse to flattery, but one of whom everything good and nothing bad could be said.The same is true of Mr Golden since his sojourn in this city. He is a model young man, learned in the laws, as shown by the very excellent examination he passed when a candidate for his sheep skin.
