Alice married Azel Hull Fish on February 14, 1893 at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Tiburon, Marin County, California

San Francisco Call, San Francisco, San Francisco Co., CA: 20 Feb 1893:
Fish-Graham.
Westminster Presbyterian Church presented a gay appearance at noon on Tuesday last, when Miss Alice Rosella Graham was led to the matrimonial altar by Mr. Azel Hull Fish. The church was crowded with friends and relatives of the happy couple and much interest was taken in the event on account of the bride having for a long time been a prominent and popular worker in the Sunday-school, as well as having been the soprano of the Westminster choir. The groom has for some time held the position of secretary of the Utah Mining Company, but resigned his position to take up the duties of assistant to the Rev. Dr. Coyle, the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. The bride's companions in the church and Sunday-school showed their appreciation for their fellow-worker by decorating the church in an elaborate and artistic manner.
A large shell of palm and fern leaves was arranged behind the reading-desk, beneath which the officiating clergyman read the marriage service. The green leaves were relieved by bunches of calla lilies, white roses and hyacinths. A beautiful floral bell was suspended in front, which was made of a mass of white roses, lilies of the valley and hyacinths. On each side of the reading-desk was a mound of ferns and a profusion of roses and lilies. The organ loft was decorated with festoons of evergreens and golden rod tied with white satin ribbon. More beautiful and effective decorations have seldom been seen at a marriage ceremony. The service was conducted by the Rev. John Quincy Adams, pastor of the church, who was assisted by the Rev. R. F. Coyle and the Rev. E. F. Fish, both of whom came over from Oakland for the occasion, the latter being an uncle of the groom. Mrs. E. F. Doane, the organist, played the wedding march from "Lohengrin" as the bridal procession entered the church. Messrs. Robert Lloyd, J. W. Cumming and F. A. Greenwood acted as ushers. The bride, a handsome brunette above the medium height, looked very distinguee as she passed uo the aisle on the arm of her father. She was unattended. Mr. Douglas Cornell was best man. After the ceremony the wedding party, numbering about thirty, repaired to the Palace Hotel, there to enjoy a delicious wedding breakfast that was served in one of the elegant private dining-rooms. The bride was elegantly dressed in a costume of blue corded silk and Redfern cloth. Mrs. Graham wore a dress of rich black silk; Miss Nellie Graham was daintily attired in a neat blue cloth costume. Mr. and Mrs. Fish have gone to Los Angeles for their honeymoon, and on their return will take up their residence in Oakland.
