During the past few months the approaching marriage of Miss Mildred E Tuckerman, a most prominent and highly accomplished young lady of Boston has been anticipated as one of the most brilliant weddings of the season.
Miss Tuckerman's fame as a soprano singer of rare sweetness and power has made her well known in the New England State and Canada, and her popularity in musical circles was evinced by the number who volunteered to sing at the nuptial services today.
The bride is on the maternal side a great-granddaughter of Maurice, brother of Lord Edward Fitz-Gerald, who died for Ireland in '98, an illustrious family.
On the paternal side Miss Tuckerman is a granddaughter of the late Gustavus Tuckerman, and great-granddaughter of Edward Tuckerman. The latter was a member of Gov. John Hancock's staff. He was unanimously chosen first president of the Mechanic Charitable Association, but declining the honor, consented to be vice-president, and held the latter position 17 years, until his death in 1812.
Miss Tuckerman is grand niece of the late Rev. Joseph Tuckerman, a venerable Unitarian minister.
Miss Tuckerman has been a member of the Cathedral choir for a number of years, and her father, Mr. Samuel Tuckerman, is a veteran in the choir, being connected with it for 37 years.
The Groom
Mr. Edwin Louis Sanders, a native of Birmingham, Eng., has for eight years filled the position of private secretary of the minister of commerce at Ottawa, Can., where he is very highly esteemed.
The auditorium of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross was well filled this morning. The bridal procession was led by the maid of honor, the bride's youngest sister, Miss Bessie, a beautiful little girl attired in white, and carrying a basket of exquisite pink roses, which she presented as an offering to the altar after the ceremony. Then came the bride accompanied by her father, then the groom and bride's mother, Mrs. Betty Watson Tuckerman, and the best man and bridesmaid, escorted the ushers wearing bridal favors.
Archbishop Williams met the bridal party at the altar and performed the marriage ceremony, assisted by Rev. Leo P. Boland, rector of the cathedral, and very Rev. James Talbot, D.D., master of ceremonies. The archbishop celebrated the nuptial mass which followed, with Father Boland, assistant. A long line of acolytes and altar boys assisted at the service.
The Sanctus, sung by Mr. McMunn, was particularly fine. The regular choir of the cathedral was augmented by the St. Cecilia quartet, Mr. Dennis C. Crowley and others. The organist was J. Frank Donahoe.
The soloists were: Soprano, Miss Ellen A. McLaughlin; alto, Miss Celia Mooney; tenor, Mr. R.H. McMunn; bass, Mr. J.J. McCloskey.
The Bridesmaid
Was Miss Louise Amory Metcalf, and Mr. Samuel Tuckerman, Jr., brother of the bride, was best man.
The ushers were Mr. John J.W. Tuckerman, Mr. Francis Fitz-Gerald Tuckerman, brothers of the bride, and Messrs Newcome Tuckerman and Stephen Salisbury Tuckerman, cousins of the bride.
The bride's gown was a marvel of loveliness, and was trimmed with rare lace. It was of rich white silk en train.
