    • Morning Herald, February 20, 1901
      The marriage of Miss Emma Bassett and Dr. John Julian McClymonds was celebrated last evening at 8 o'clock at the home of the brides father, Mr. S. Bassett, of South Limestone street. Only the two families and a few intimate friends witnessed the ceremony, which was performed by Rev. Dr. W.S. Fulton.
      The home was adorned in white and pink. In the front parlor the corners of the room and mantles were banked in large palms and ferns, behind which were pink candles in bronze and silver candelabra. The chandeliers were entwined with smilax. The lights were veiled with pink and on tables and stands were large bunches of pink roses. The back parlor, where the ceremony was performed, was in white. In front of the mantle and within the large bay window, palms, ferns and rubber plants reached to the ceiling. Large shower bouquets of white roses filled cut glass vases. Lights from white candles, held in silver candlesticks, were shaded with silver shades lined with white silk. The reception hall was in green. On the landing were mounds of potted plants. The banisters were entwined with evergreens, and the chandelier was draped with garlands of smilax. During the evening music was furnished by an orchestra in the hall above. At the hour appointed the Lohengrin wedding march was played and the wedding party entered. Dr. Lincoln Chadburn of Ann Arbor, Mich., and Mr. George Weeks, the two groomsmen, entered first in the front parlor from the hall, carrying white satin ribbons, and proceeded through the parlors and took their stand on each side of the mantle, forming an aisle for those following. Next came the bridesmaids, Miss Ann Bassett, sister of the bride, and Miss Elizabeth Scott, in gowns of white crepe de chene, over white taffeta. Miss Bassett's was trimmed with pink roses, and Miss Scott's with gold. Both carried bunches of pink roses. Behind them came the flower girl, little Miss Lilly Threldkeld, gowned in white paris muslin with white satin ribbons, carrying a large basket filled with white and pink carnations. As the bride with her father, came from the hall through the front parlor, the groom, with his best man, Dr. Charles McClintock, of the Park Davis Laboratory, entered from a side door in the back parlor. The bride and groom met in front of the minister and were surrounded by their attendants.
      Miss Bassett wore a wedding gown of white satin with long court train. The high neck corsage and sleeves were sheered tulle. A bertha of point lace was caught to the shoulder with orange blossoms. Her tulle veil was caught in her hair with a single spray of orange blossoms, and she carried a shower bouquet of lilies of the valley, tied with white satin streamers.
      Following the ceremony a reception was given until the departure of the bride and groom for the South, where they will spend several weeks. After congratulations the guests withdrew to the library and dining room, which were decorated in evergreens and vases of flowers. In the library was the bride's table, where her attendants and a few friends were seated. In the center was the bride's cake, representing a bowl of white lilies, the sides were covered with white marguerites with silver centers, and from it rose a tall Grecian urn filled with lilies of the valley. Encircling it was a veil of spun candy. The cake rested on a large square piece of Battenburg lace, and from it to the four sides of th table were white satin streamers, caught to the ends with large bows. On small Battenburg doilies rested tall silver candlesticks holding white candles, shaded with silver shades, lined with white silk, and silver dishes of white rose bud mints. At each place was a white box of wedding cake tied with white satin ribbon, with M.B. in gold on one corner. Seated with the bride and groom were Miss Anna Bassett, Miss Elizabeth Scott, Miss Mary Hodgers, Miss Kate DeLong, Miss Lucy Alexander, Miss Emily Barnes, Dr. and Mrs. George Draper Kelly, Mrs. William Barnes, Dr. McClintock, Dr. Chadburn, Mr. George Weeks, Mr. J. Rogers Barr, Mr. Le Compte, Mr. Brooks, and Mr. John Payne.
      The dining room was in pink. In the center of the table was a vase of pink roses resting on a Battenburg center piece over pink silk. On smaller pieces at the two ends were pink candles in silver candle sticks, and placed about were silver dishes of pink tulips and rose bud mints. Seated here were Dr. and Mrs. Fulton, Miss Tunbull, of Winchester; Mrs. Ishnell, Mrs. Sage, Mrs. Sayre, Mr. and Mrs. Richard P. stoll, Major and Mrs. Bullock, Mrs. John Hodges, Dr. Skillman, Mr. Richard T. Anderson, Sr. Others were seated at smaller tables.
      After their return they will make their home with Mr. Bassett, Dr. McClymonds having decided to locate here.
