"TILL DEATH US DO PART."

Marriage of Lieut. Albert S. McNutt and Miss Helen M. Patterson—The Ceremonies and Reception.

For some weeks past society circles in this city have been looking forward to the marriage of Lieutenant Albert S. McNutt and Miss Helen M. Patterson as an affair of more than ordinary social interest. This event so long expected among those who are usually informed on such subjects was consummated yesterday afternoon at five o'clock at St. Mark's Episcopal church, Rev. George C. Rafter, rector of that church, officiating.

Invitations had been out for some days previous to the event and the church was filled to overflowing at an early hour by our leading citizens with their wives and society people generally, the assemblage being one of the most brilliant gatherings that our city has witnessed on any similar occasion for many years.

Lieutenants W. R. Stall and John Baxter, Jr., in full uniform, officiated as grooms and the bridesmaids were Miss Nellie Stanley and Miss Fannie Crook, both attired in pale blue silk trimmed with cream lace and each carrying a basket of fresh flowers.

At a few minutes past five p. m. the bridal party, preceded by Messrs. Fay, Troxal and others, entered the church and to the sweet strains of the wedding march moved slowly to the altar.

The bride looked very beautiful and was arrayed in pearl white ottoman silk with white lace and veil and fresh flowers and carried a bouquet of marchinel rosebuds and carnations. The bridegroom was dressed in full officer's uniform.

Immediately on the arrival of the bridal party at the altar, Rev. Dr. Rafter proceeded to pronounce the brief, but solemn and impressive Episcopalian marriage service, the bride repeating the marital vow in a singularly clear, unfaltering voice. The benediction being pronounced, the bridal party, the bride and groom leading, left the church and proceeding to the residence of J. K. Jeffrey Esq., where a reception attended by about eighty specially invited guests, and a magnificent collation was partaken of.

Mr. and Mrs. McNutt departed on the delayed train for Denver last evening, where they will sojourn for a few days. The list of presents, which were costly and elegant, are given below:

There were also a number of other presents of which we were unable to get a list.
