The ceremony was performed by Rev. H. A. Velte. The brides' gowns were white georgette and lace, over white satin; their veils being held in place with pearl bands, and they carried shower bouquets of roses and sweet peas. The bridesmaids--Mrs. C. C. Parrot and Miss Eva O'Brien, of Milwaukee, sisters of the brides; the former wearing a powder blue crepe satin dress, and the latter an apricot georgette, both wearing large white hats; their bouquets consisted of roses, larkspur and snapdragons. The best men were Ray Ritchay and Dwight Dobyns. After the ceremony, the newlyweds and sixty guests repaired to the Tourist Hotel where a wedding breakfast was served. The tables were decorated in pink and white. The brides are daughters of Mrs. Alice O'Brien, Milwaukee, to which city the family moved one year ago. It was their wish to be married in Montello, where they were born, attended school and graduated, later entering Whitewater Normal, and graduating there in the Commercial course. After finishing school, Miss Blanche took a position in Fond du Lac, which she has held since this time; Miss Ethel holding a like position in Wisconsin Rapids schools. Both young ladies are well known in this village and are highly respected by all for their admirable characteristics. The best wishes of their hosts of friends go with them to their respective homes. Mr. Justin is the son of Mrs. L. Justin, of Fond du Lac, and holds a position as district manager for the Fuller Brush Company, of Appleton. Aaron Ritchay is the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Ritchay, of Wisconsin Rapids, and will return to his former position as athletic coach of the high school in that city. The two young men are strangers to us, but judging from what the brides are worthy of, they are good and honorable men. The congratulations on the happy event are numerous, and the Express adds its hearty good wishes to those being so freely extended. The out of town guests were: Fond du Lac: Mrs. L.
