DIDAWICK - WHITMORE, Lexington, Va,, October 23 - Lexington's first autumnal wedding was solemnized this morning at 10 o'clock, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Whitmore, on the northern suburbs of the town, when their daughter, Miss Lovie Hamilton Whitmore, became the bride of Mr. Fred Didawick, a railway mail messenger of the Lower Valley. The ceremony took place in the parlor, which was decorated with palms, begonias, chrysanthemums, cypress, ferns, and alcacias; while the spacious dining-room was beautifully bedecked with autumnal colors. The Rev. J. H. Light, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, performed the ceremony, as the couple are members of his congregation. Beneath a large floral bell the solemn vows were made. Miss Bessie V. Quisenberry presided at the organ. The bride was becomingly attired in a white prunella cloth dress, en train, with satin trimmings, and wore a veil of tulle, caught up with a wreath of rose buds. She carried twenty-two bride's roses, indicative of her age, while behind the minister stood a candelabrum of twenty-two candles further indicating her years. Miss Mamie Showalter of East Lexington vicinity, was maid of honor, and Mr. J. C. Hutcheson, of Edinburg, Va., was best man. The bridesmaids were Misses Annie Lutry, formerly of near Woodstock, and Miss Kate Moore, of near Lexington. The groomsmen were Messrs. Don J. Whitmore, of Lynchburg, a brother to the bride, and B. Homer Didawick, of Woodstock, a brother of the groom. Immediately after the ceremony a luncheon was served in the spacious dining room, and later Mr. and Mrs. C F. Didawick left for an extended northern tour, over the Baltimore and Ohio rail road. They will reside in Lexington on their return. Mr. Didawick is a son of Mr. and Mrs B.F. Didawick, of Shenandoah county, and is well known throughout the Valley. His run was formerly from Baltimore to Lexington. The bride is a daughter of the best known cattle raiser and farmer in the Valley, who is at present a member of the County Board of Supervisors of Rockbridge.
