Wedding News May1, 1921 news

Mr. and Mrs. Jesse R. Clark's dinner-dance on June 10 at Country Club, is in honor of their son's fiancée, Miss Rosan Krippendorf, whose marriage is set for the following Wednesday.

Another delightful affair in honor of Miss Krippendorf and Mr. Jerome Clark is a dinner at the Miami Boat Club, which Mr. Harold Payne has arranged for June 7, and which will collect the bridal party and one or two others of the smart set for a happy few hours in the country.

Owing to recent mourning in the groom's family the marriage of Miss Martha Shipley and Mr. James Monroe, of Philadelphia, will be very quietly celebrated on May 21, the Church of the Advent, whose chancel is one of the most stately in Cincinnati, giving to the ceremony the dignity and beauty which its importance naturally inspires. There will be no formal reception afterward at the home of the bride's parents, where there will assemble sans ceremonie to give the happy pair God-speed, the large family connection of the bride and groom and a few intimate friends, who are being asked by word of mouth only, no invitations being issued except to the church. It is hoped that Miss Hannah Shipley, a debutante last winter, who graduates at Smith College in June, may be able to come on to act as her sister's maid of honor, the presence of Mrs. Collins Atwater (Helen Shipley), of Westfield, Mass., being assured as the matron of honor. The groom's brother, Mr. Andrew Monroe, of Philadelphia, will be best man and the ushers will include Mr. Murray Shipley, Jr., whose friends rejoiced to learn as to be here from his plantation in Arizona a week or so before the wedding and a group of out-of-town men, Philadelphians all, although several now make their home elsewhere, Mr. Charles Weiss being an Indianapolis man by adoption and Mr. Theodore Wells being from Cleveland, where the groom is also established in business, and where he will take his bride to reside. Mr. Louis Rowland is the only groomsman who remains true to his native heath being still a Philadelphian. They will come out a day or so before the wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Shipley hope, in time for the informal dinner at their home on Dexter place, which will precede the rehearsal on Friday, May 20. Miss Shipley is anticipating the arrival of a few school friends from the East, who are to be here several days before the 21st, the devoted aunts of the bride, the Misses Hannah and Katherine Shipley, of Bryn Mawr, being also expected for this auspicious occasion, and as they have not been here for several years, they will greeted with special empressement by their devoted friends, who include not only their own contemporaries, but those of their parents, whose position in the community was so great an inspiration to the intellectual, philanthropic and social interests of Cincinnati. Although Rt. Rev. Boyd Vincent, Bishop of Southern Ohio, seldom officiates now at any save a few special services of the church, and next to never at weddings, his great affection for the bride's family has prompted him to read the service on this occasion, the rector of the parish, the Rev. Mr. Dunlop assisting. The music will be especially lovely, and the entire ceremony beautiful in its churchliness and simplicity.
