The San Antonio Express says: "One of our San Antonio belles is shortly to wed an Episcopal minister. Her elegant bridal trousseau is now being made for the happy event. Miss T. is as charming as she is accomplished." It is whispered here that, after the wedding, this city is to be the home of the charming San Antonian.

Last evening as the hour of 8 o’clock approached the pews of St. Mark’s cathedral began to fill with the elite of San Antonio, and by the time that hour arrived the massive and stately structure was filled, the assembly being drawn thither to witness the solemn and impressive ceremony which was to unite in holy wedlock a lady greatly beloved and admired in this her native city, and a distinguished divine, whose zeal had won for him the heart of the bride as well as the esteem and confidence of his congregation. On this occasion Miss Annie Tobin, daughter of the late Capt. William Tobin of this city, was wedded to the Rev. Arthur W. Borroughs, of Victoria. The altar was beautifully and tastefully decorated with graceful festoons of ivy twined about the arches and pendent to an arch above the chancel and from the chandeliers. Suspended from the ivy twined arch was a wedding bell of roses which swung just above the heads of the bride and groom.
The wedding procession entered the cathedral and marched up the center aisle to the accompaniment of the wedding march in the following order:
Little Miss Mary Vance and Master John Fraser, jr.
John Tobin and Miss Lillian Ogden.
Sam W. Bennett and Miss Ella Tobin.
The groom and the mother of the bride.
The bride and her brother-in-law, John Fraser, sr.
The toilets of the bride and bridesmaids were exquisite, but without ostentation. They were clad in white, the bride wearing her veil in addition, as the only feature of toilet to distinguish her from her fair servitors. The groom wore the cloth of the clergy, and the gentlemen were attired in full dress suits.
The wedding ceremony was performed in a very impressive and solemn manner by Dean W. R. Richardson, at the conclusion of which the bridal party repaired to the residence of the bride and mother, where the relatives and a few intimate friends gathered to tender their congratulations. A profusion of elegant and serviceable presents were showered on the bride by her many warm and dear friends.
Miss Tobin is a young lady who has become endeared to a large social circle in this city. She possesses many accomplishments and noble attributes and has always been identified with every prominent work of charity in this city, and her efforts have been mainly devoted to her church, St. Mark’s cathedral. Her departure with the groom to his field of labor will bring sorrow to many friends and it will be difficult to fill her place among the congregation of the cathedral. She takes with her the best wishes of all who know her, and the Express unites in the hope that Mr. and Mrs. Borroughs may lead a long and happy life, crowned with the realization of all their hopes.
