One of the most beautiful weddings taking place in DeFuniak in quite a long space of time was that which occurred Wednesday evening of last week [October 26, 1911] at the Methodist church, when Mr. James Monroe Northcutt and Miss Julia Shafer Richardson were united in marriage. The church being handsomely decorated for the occasion.
At the sounds of the sweet soft wedding march which was played by Miss Edna Meigs and Rosby Brown the bride entered leaning on the arm of her father and who was met by the groom at the alter where the words were pronounced that made the happy couple man and wife.
The wedding procession went immediately from the church to the home of the bride where they remained only a short time before leaving on the evening train on a short trip through different points of interest in Alabama before stopping at Tuscaloosa where they will make their future home.
The bride is well known through this section and she will be greatly missed among the many social gatherings in which she had a large number of friends and admirers whose wishes for her of a long and happy life were numerous while the groom is a business man of good standing in his home town to which place he has carried one of our most loved young ladies.
