  Documents		Marriage- Lynde, Nellie-Parrett, Charley Parrett-Lynde Mr. Charley Parrett of Whiting and Miss Nellie Lynde of Rossville were united in the holy bonds of wedlock in Topeka, Jan. 27th 1909. The ceremony was witnessed by only a few near relatives. The bride was dressed in a lovely costume of white silk trimmed in laces and ribbons, wearing a beautiful hat and white slippers to match, while the groom wore conventional black. The bridesmaid Minnie, sister of the bride were a cream Albatross, and the best man was dressed to suit the occasion. The bridal party left on the morning train from Rossville and returned at noon, were driven to the home of the bride's father northwest of Rossville where an elegant dinner awaited them. Also a great surprise, for the father of the bride had invited all the near relatives unknown to any of the bridal party. About 30 guests were present. Mr. Parrett has no doubt obtained a wife worthy of any good man and on the other hand Mrs. Parrett is to be congratulated on her acceptance of the man who is now her husband. We understand they contemplate locating near Oskaloosa and wherever they go the best wishes of their many friends will follow. [From 27 Jan 1909] --- The Court House Wedding The bride and groom were ready and waiting, not at the church, but at the courthouse. But the bridesmaid and the best man were up town. They did not appear until after the pretty bride and her husband-to-be, (eager to be), it might be said, had waited an hour. And then in the presence of a crowd of friends C.H. Parrot of Whiting and Nellie Lynde of Rossville were married. The wedding would well have graced a residence or even a church. The bride wore a white silk dress, white gloves and shoes and a veil. The groom was dressed in the regalia usually worn by one in his position. Judge Schoch would not have been surprised had they asked for the ring ceremony. The wedded life of Mr. and Mrs. Parrot was made shorter by a number of waits. They arrived at 8:29 o'clock but Judge Schoch was not in the office. About 9 o'clock he appeared and soon announced that he was ready to begin operations at the convenience of the two matrimonial candidates. Parrot wanted to go on with the ceremony but Mrs. Parrot-to-be demurred. She wanted to wait until the bridesmaid and the best man arrived. Judge Schoch sustained the demurrer and the young folks waited. At 9:30 o'clock the bridesmaid and best man had not appeared. Parrot wanted them to go ahead with the ceremony but Miss Lynde was more patient. And after they had waited three quarters of an hour longer the bridesmaid and the best man, respectively, sister and brother of the bride and groom, appeared with some friends who were to witness the most elaborate social affair which has occurred in the courthouse in months. The ceremony was then performed. -Topeka Capital. [From Jan 1909]
