Wedding Announcement from the Edmonton Bulletin, February, 1884

The marriage of Mr. H. Fraser of Edmonton to Miss Maggie Pruden of Victoria, second daughter of Mr. J. Pruden, formerly of Lac La Biche took place in the Methodist church, Edmonton on Thursday last. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. H. Baird, Presbyterian minister. C. W. Sutter was groomsman and Miss Caroline Pruden, sister of the bride was bridesmaid. The church was filled with relatives and well-wishers of the couple. At the conclusion of the ceremony, a wedding procession was formed showing a grand turn out of gay horses and cutters, many coloured ribbons and smiling faces which proceeded to the H. B. C. fort and back again by way of Main street to the house of Mr. A. Rowand, brother-in-law of the groom, where an excellent wedding breakfast had been provided under the care of Mr. Goodridge of the Jasper house assisted by Mr. Jas. Lauder. When full justice had been done to the variety of eatables the party adjourned to the house of Mr. J. Sinclair near by, where dancing was commenced and kept up with the spirit of afternoon and evening, not ceasing until daylight on Friday morning.
