In honor of Valentine's Day two days ago and because I love reading the descriptions of weddings from days gone by, here is an article I found about a West Riverside couple's wedding that occurred May 1, 1900. The report was printed in the Riverside Daily Press.
Two popular young people of West Riverside were united in the Congregational Church at 1 o'clock this afternoon. The groom was Robert Jensen, the bride Miss Josie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs John Ellis.
The bride was attended by Miss Mary Jensen, sister of the groom. and Fred Bonham officiated as best man. The wedding party entered to the well known strains of the wedding march, rendered by Miss Bertha Wilber. The bride was becomingly gowned in her traveling dress, and carried a bouquet of white roses and orange blossoms. The maid of honor wore a gown of tan colored landsdowne and carried a bouquet of Gold of Ophir roses.
The Rev. E.F. Goff pronounced the words which made the two hearts one, after which the bride and groom left on their wedding tour to Los Angeles and coast points.
On the return of Mr. and Mrs Jensen on Friday night, they will be given a wedding supper at the home of the bride's parents, after which they will give a dancing party in their own home.
