Arthur Bradley and Julia Plimpton were married

1. The house was decorated with flowers and flowering plants, with “banks of flowers upon the mantels.”
2. Clarissa Hibbard Plimpton wore a “rich dress of black satin, relieved by black and gold satin brocade.”
3. Ellen Bradley Curtis wore a “black silk and satin” dress.

The article did not mention specifically that Linus Plimpton attended the wedding, but presumably he was there, as he gave Julia diamonds to wear for the ceremony.

Arthur and Julia left on an “early evening train for a short bridal tour” following the reception.

Nathaniel Burton was a Congregational minister and pastor at the Park Congregational Church.  However, according to the Courant, he “employed the Episcopal ceremonial” for the wedding.

1. “Her ornaments were diamonds, presented by her father.”
2. “The wedding presents were numerous and very elegant.”

“Bon silene” and “jacqueminot” are both varieties of roses.
