LINKED FOR LIFE.
Miss Elizabeth Salisbury the Bride of Emil Jansen.
Attired in a beautiful wedding gown of silk, and wearing a wreath of orange blossoms, Miss Elizabeth Louise Salisbury became the wife of Emil Jansen last evening. The marriage was performed by Rev. Mr. Wanderer, pastor of Elm street church, ad took place at the home of the bride's parents, No. 45 River street.
The groom is a prominent Philadelphia designer, although well known in Paterson, and many of his friends were present to witness his embarkation on the uncertain sea of matrimony.
Mrs. Weston played Mendelssohn's wedding march at a little after 8 o'clock and to the thrilling inspiration of that beautiful creation the bride and groom and their attendants entered the spacious parlor. The simple ceremony did not last long, and when the happy couple were pronounced man and wife and had received the blessing of the minister, congratulations were showered upon them by the hosts of assembled guests.
The house was handsomely decorated. Nothing was too elaborate on this occasion, and everywhere, from cellar to garret, reminders of the occasion were manifest.
There was a magnificent banquet. The tables fairly groaned under the weight of good substantial and dainty articles of food. The merry jest was passed across the festive board and the newly wedded pair by their mirthful spontaniety, created many a laugh and good rejoinder.
Of presents there were many—almost a carload, and the pleasure it gave the ladies to inspect them would almost provoke a popular person into matrimony. When Mr. and Mrs Jansen set up housekeeping they will wonder where to put all the articles their friends gave them to start in with.
During the reception that followed, the chief entertainers were Professor John Weston, piano, Mrs. J. Weston, a splendid soprano; John Newell, in comical songs; George Reynolds, brimful of comical ditties; Nellie Fidler, a charming piano soloist, and Isaac Fidler with sentimental songs, etc.
Among those present were:
Mr. Benjamin Salisbury and wife, Mr. I. Fidler and wife, Mr. J.W. Nowell and wife, Mr. J. Hottinger and wife, Mr. W.T. Aspel and wife, Mr. E.Eugeer and wife, Mr. Weston and wife, Mr. Charles Brown and wife, Mr. George Reynolds and wife, Mr. Crawford and wife, Mr. Charles McGrogan and wife, Mesdames L. Vedder, M. Haeberle, Emil Jansen, Misses Bertha Engler, Louise Apel, Clara Apel, Margie McGrogan, Nellie Fidler, Miss Cellarius, Miss Hall, Master Willie Engler, Messrs. Henry Jenny, Young, L. Keizer, Emil Jansen, Tunis Fort, William Salisbury, Misses Jennie Salisbury, V. Reynolds, Mr. Isaac Fidler Jr., Eddie Salisbury, Mrs. W.C. Apel, William Davis and others.
Mr. and Mrs. Jansen left for Philadelphia today, where they will make their permanent home, the husband having a beautifully furnished house all ready for his bride.
