Ever and anon we are called to chronicle some of Cupid’s capers and usually something pleasant, something romantic. Bright and early Wednesday morning, May 12, 1897, occurred one of those happy events in Bay City around which the garland of romance was interwoven, not only because of the prominence of the high contracting parties, with the charm of its story, but because it was the first church wedding in the history of Bay City.
At the appointed hour the bride leaning on the arm of her father and preceded by Mr. Allen McNabb and her sister Miss Mabel Ladd, marched up the aisle to “Mendelssohn’s Wedding March,” executed by Miss Nellie Page, around at the altar, where the father gave the bride away, and standing under the star spangled arch, while Miss Page played “Promise Me.” Very softly Reverend J. J. Callaway in the simple but beautiful service of the Methodist Episcopal Church spoke the words that linked the lives of Mr. Robert H. Foster and Miss Minnie M. Ladd.
