Saturday November 26th 1898 Page 1
FORGOT HER NAME
N. J. Fezzey Was Thinking of Another and Wedding Didn't Occur
A funny incident transpired yesterday afternoon when N. J. Fezzey and Miss
Maude Golden appeared before Rev. William Johnson, who had been requested to
make them man and wife. The minister had been given the names of the
prospective bride and groom and just before the performance of the ceremony was
to begin Mr. Fezzey presented the marriage license to the prelate. Rev. Johnson
scanned the document and on reaching the name and description of the young lady
looked up in a puzzled manner, and turning to Mr. Fezzey, informed him that a
mistake had evidently been made, as the lady's name as written was not the one
that had been previously given as that of the young lady he was about to wed.
The gentleman looked at the license and to his deep embarassment found the
matter to be as represented by the minister. The marriage ceremony was not
performed. Mr. Fezzey hustled back to the county clerk's office, where he had
applied for the license an hour before, and had the proper name and description
inserted. To the deputy county clerk the groom-to-be blushingly stated that he
was thinking of a young lady he met before the war at the time he made the
application, and was badly rattled any way. After the error had been corrected
Mr. Fezzey departed apparently in a happy frame of mind.
But there is sequel to the contretemps. The proposed wedding, after the
mishap, was to have taken place last night. Up to a late hour, however, the
event had not been pulled off. Mr. Fezzey is either the most absent-minded man
that ever happened, or else a vision of the before-the-war young lady has
completely driven all thoughts of wedded bliss with Miss Golden from his mind.
Mr. Fessey made an appointment to meet his loved one after supper, when they
were to be married. The young lady forlornly awaited the coming of the
bridegroom for several hours, but he did not make his appearance. The recreant
lover will probaly meet with a warmer reception than he bargained for when he
shows up-if he does. Chances are that the wedding will be summarily declared
off, if Miss Golden continues in the frame of mid she possessed last night.
