They entered the church in time with the lovely wedding march played by Miss Mollie Frank. The ushers were Mr. Reed, of Houston, and Miss Lizzie Frank, a niece of the groom, who looked as lovely as the bride. Just as they reached stand they took their position facing the audience. An appropriate prayer was then uttered, after which the bridal party passed out. After congratulations and adieus were spoken Mr. and Mrs. Miller left for Flatonia, accompanied by several friends, where they took the train for Uvalde, their future home. The bride was handsomely attired in a traveling suit and the groom in conventional black. This fair bride was born and reared in our midst and her lovely disposition and many sterling qualities have won for her a host of friends who will miss her society. She is as brightly gifted in mind as in person, and was lovely to look upon as she stood beside her noble husband, who is a prosperous and prominent stockman of Uvalde county, possessed of good attributes of both head and heart. We waft all the good wishes that sincerity and friendship can suggest and at last a happy home in Heaven. [Shiner Gazette. (Shiner, Tex.), July 23, 1896 - Sub. by K.T.]

A reception was given the couples next day at the home of the grooms parents Mr. and Mrs, F. M. Neely, after which they were accompanied by a number of friends to the depot where they took the 2:30 train for Uvalde their future home.
