A NOTABLE WEDDING.

The Dickerman Shoemaker Nuptials in the First M. E. Church.
At 11 o'clock Wednesday, Miss Elizabeth Shoemaker, daughter of Hon. L. D. Shoemaker, of South Franklin street, this city, and George L. Dickerman, of New Haven, Conn., were made man and wife in the new First Methodist church, on North Franklin street, this city in the presence of a large number of people—friends and relatives of the contracting parties, and the elite of Wilkes-Barre was ably represented. This was the first wedding in the handsome new church edifice. Rev. J. O. Woodruff, pastor of the church, read the invocation, and Rev. Dr. Goodsell, rector of the First Congregational Church, of New Haven officiated at the ceremony. The affair was an elaborate one, and it will not soon be forgotten by those who witnessed it.
The bridesmaids were Miss Dickerman, sister of the groom, Miss Wadhams, and Misses Esther and Birdie Shoemaker, sisters of the bride. The ushers were Charles P. Shoemaker, of Owego, N. Y.; Mr. Mervin, Lock Haven, Pa., and Levi Shoemaker and Richard Sharpe, jr., of this city.
The bride looked very pretty, although a trifle pale, in a handsome, costly and neat-fitting dress of white Razimar silk, with court train and wide point Duchess lace flounces and double box-plaited silk flounces in front. The corsage was of a V pattern, with long sleeves and with Duchess lace filled in. The bride's ornaments were diamonds and a bridal bouquet of white roses and lillies of the valley. The groom was attired in a shapely suit of dark material. Misses Birdie and Esther Shoemaker, sisters of the bride, who acted as bridesmaids, were attired in comely dresses of white ottoman silk, while Misses Dickerman and Wadhams, the other two bridesmaids, wore white satin dresses with drapery of tulle. All four of the bridesmaids carried fragrant bouquets of Marechal Neil rose buds. Mrs. Schoemaker, the mother of the bride, was attired in a heavy black satin.
Appropriate music was rendered by Prof. Pabst on the large pipe organ in the church.
As soon as the nuptial knot had been tied Mr. and Mrs. Dickerman left the church, followed by their relatives and invited guests, stepped into carriages that were waiting, and were driven away.
A grand wedding breakfast was served at the house of the bride's parents, and only immediate relatives of the family were present.
The gifts to the couple are too numerous to mention, and every article is costly as well as pretty.
Mr. and Mrs. Dickerman boarded an afternoon train for an extended wedding tour.
Mr. Dickerman can well congratulate himself for having captured so worthy a young lady, who is the daughter of one of Wilkes-Barre's most respected and best citizens.
