LEADING SOCIAL EVENT. ------ THE DONNELLAN-RYAN WEDDING
LAST NIGHT.
It Takes Place at the Home of the Bride on East Third street
-- A brilliant Reception followed the cermemony --
The most stylish event of the present social season
was the Donnellan Ryan wedding and reception which occured last evening in the
spacious homes of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John R. T. Ryan, and
grandmother, Mrs. Margaret Tinsman, on East Third Street. These residences are
made easy of access to each other by means of a bridge hallway and they were
occupied last evening by the elite of this city. Both houses were handsomely
decorated by Chaapel and the Evanden Brothers, the florists. The parlor of the
Ryan residence was trimmed with yellow and white roses and amilax; the sitting
room in pink roses, white carnations and amilax and the library in red roses and
white carnations, the effect being beautiful and artistically
CEREMONY AT THE HOUSE. The ceremony took place in the
parlor of the Ryan residence at 7: 30 o'clock, in the midst of only the
relatives and immediate friends of the bride and groom and was performed by Rev.
Dr. John T. Crowley, of the Church of Epiphany, Philadelphia. The groom, Dr.
Patrick Sarsfield Donnellan, was supported by Garrett Tinsman Ryan, brother of
the bride, as best man, and the bride, Miss Florence Tinsman Ryan, was attended
by her sister, Miss Carman Ryan, as maid of honor. The bridesmaids were Misses
Nellie Babb, Rachel P. Allen, Josephine Coleman and Margaretta Tinsman, cousin
of the bride, all of this city. The ushers were John G. Coryell, of this city;
E. George Russ of St. Mary's, and Dr. Jospeh Spelliay (sp?) and Charles Eugene
Arrison, of Philadelphia.
The wedding party assembled in the south end
of the room facing a curtain of amilax and roses and were surrounded by palms
and tropical plants. The bride was handsomely gowned in white satin mull
A
BRILLIANT RECEPTION. The reception took place at 9 o'clock, the Stopper
and Fisk full orchestra being present. Both houses were thrown open to the
guests, refreshments being served in the Tinsman residence by the well known
caterer, Mr. Auguste Leedlein (sp?). Among the guests present from a distance
were: Mrs. R. J. O. Walker, Mr. and Mrs. T. Henry Martin, Mrs. James Geddes and
Joshua Hunt of Philadelphia; Mrs. Lawrence W. Miller, of New York; Miss Daisy
Lloyd, of Altoona; Miss Marie McCormick, of Lock Haven; and Miss Ann McCleary,
of Milton.
The gifts to the bride were many and made a display seldom
excelled in this vicinity. Two rooms at each end of the bridgeway, in the Ryan
and Tinsman residences, were occupied by these valuable tokens of remembrance.
Prominent among them were a check for $5,000, a deed for the property 1028
Spruce street, Philadelphia; valuable porcelain, cut glass, bric-a-brac,
etchings, water colors, engravings, artistic needle work, diamond broach and
silverware from relatives and admiring friends in this country, while from
friends in England and Ireland came belleek (sp?), lace, and silverware. In the
residence in Philadelphia are a number of gifts, which for various reasons were
sent there, prominent among them being a handsome upright piano.
THE RYAN'S WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. What made this event
one of peculiar interest to Mr. and Mrs. John R. T. Ryan, was the fact that they
were upon that day celebrating the twenty-eight anniversary of their marriage.
They had been united in wedlock twenty-eight years ago in the Tinsman
residence, and it seemed eminently fitting that their eldest daughter should be
married from almost the same house.
The groom, Dr. Donnellan, is a
practicing physician of Philadelphia, who is making rapid strides in his chosen
profession. He is medical director of St. Mary's Hospital and lecturer on
clinical medicine of the
Mr. and Mrs. Donnellan left on a late train last night on a bridal tour
the itinerary of which is a profound secret. They will be at home to friends in
Philadelphia at 1028 Spruce street, on Tuesdays in January.
A
FAREWELL DINNER. Yesterday afternoon Dr. Donnellan gave a farewell
dinner in a private room at The Updegraff to his bachelor friends. The party was
made up of his best man and the ushers, Messrs. Garrett T. Ryan, Charles E.
Arrison, Joseph M. Spelliay (sp?), E. George Russ and John G. Coryell.
