Mr. and Mrs. John Smith announce the engagement of their daughter, Miss Connie, to Grover C. McCaughan of Laurel, Miss. The wedding will take place at their home in the city on June 19. ~CKNJ, June 05, 1912

Beautiful Wedding
One of the prettiest home weddings that has occurred in this city in recent years was that of Miss Candace Hord Smith and Mr. Grover C. McCaughan, which was solemnized at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Smith, Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The ceremony was performed by Rev. R. F. Jaudon, pastor of the Baptist church. It was a ring ceremony and Mr. Jaudon officiated in a most beautiful manner. A large number of relatives and admiring friends witnessed the ceremony. Miss Ella Kerr, violinist, and Miss Minnie Walsh, on the piano, rendered beautiful music. Mrs. W. E. Wood sang "To the End of the World With You" in such a manner that charmed the audience moving many to tears. When the hour for the marriage arrived, two lovely little flower girls, Ray Rucker Davis and Dorothy Bailey, preceded the bridal party with a basket of sweet peas, strewing the flowers in the pathway. Following them came the bridesmaid, Miss Laura Smith, sister of the brider, attired in blue marquisette over silk, who was beautiful and graceful. The bridal party, as the sweet strains of the wedding march rendered soft and low by Misses Kerr and Walsh, floated through the elegant home, proceeded down the long and decorated stairway through the ribboned aisle to a beautiful arch, made of honeysuckles and entwined with magnolias and sweet peas. From the arch hung a large bell, constructed of the choicest flowers and vines, and under which the happy couple stood as the ceremony was performed. Back of the officiating minister was a profusion of potted plants, and in the large bay window beyond the arch were the rare and beautiful Cape Jasamine plants. The bride was dressed in a blue tailored suit and carried a shower of bride roses and lillies of the valley. She was in harmony with the beautiful scene that surrounded her. As she went up the steps after the ceremony she tossed her bouquet into the midst of a bevy of pretty young ladies and it was caught by Miss Katherine Chandler. After many hearty congratulations, good wishes, and fond farewells, Mr. and Mrs. McCaughan, accompanied by Mrs. J. R. Davis, departed for Lebanon in Mr. Davis' touring car, driven by Mr. Neville Davis. The bride and groom took the 6:58 train for Louisville, where they remained until yesterday, when they left for Chattanooga, Tenn., Look Out Mountain, and other interesting points in the South, before going to their home at Laurel, Miss. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Smith and no young lady was ever born and reared in this community who is held in higher esteem or more dearly beloved. She is an accomplished and charming young lady possessing a lovely character and all that make a queenly woman. She will be a bright acquisition in her new home in the sunny South. She was the recipient of more than one hundred handsome and costly presents, consisting of cut glass, China ware, silverware, and rare pieces of linen, and no better proof could be given in which she is held. The groom is one of the most popular and worthy young business men in his section of Mississippi. He is engaged in the plumbing business and is a large contractor of splendid reputation. He numbers his friends by his acquaintances and is regarded very highly by everyone who knows him. Surely, Mr. McCaughn has proven himself to be a gentleman of splendid judgement in winning one of Campbellsville's fairest daughters and brightest stars to shine in his Southern home. May happiness, love and prosperity be with them through life.
