[ ROOP - GLADDNEN ]

A wedding ceremony of quiet detail was solemnized this afternoon at 3 o'clock, when Miss Tirzah GLADDEN, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph GLADDNEN was united in marriage to Mr. C. Terry ROOP, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. S. ROOP of Pittsburg, Pa. On account of the ill-health of Mrs. GLADDEN, the bride's mother, the ceremony did not take place at the pretty family residence on West Walnut street, but at the home of Rev. J. E. WISHART, pastor of the United Presbyterian church, on South Los Robles avenue. Only a small guest company of relatives and imtimate [sic=intimate] friends were present. The bride was gowned in dainty Persian lawn garnitured [sic] with Irish lace. The yoke of the bodice was of all over lace edged with beautiful applique [sic=appliqué] where it joined the fullness of the lower part of the bodice. The sleeves were finished with deep cuffs of lace and the upper part was a soft full puff. The skirt was made with a front panel of finely tucked lawn edged with Irish lace insertion, and about the foot on either side of the panel were two deep flounces headed with insertion. Miss Clara ROBINSON, an intimate friend of the bride, acted as bridesmaid, and Mr. Roy DAVENPORT was best man. After the ceremony the immediate bridal party, including the father and mother of the bride, went down to Los Angeles, where a wedding dinner was served at the Angelus. Later in the evening Mr. and Mrs. ROOP took the train for the north. They will visit the exposition at Portland and upon their return from their wedding journey will be at home in a cozy cottage which Mr. ROOP has furnished for his bride, at No. 320 North Orange Grove avenue. They will be at home to their friends after August fifteenth. Both bride and groom are very popular among the younger society set, although their residence in California has been a short one. The bride is a charming and beautiful girl, with a very winsome personality, and has made a wide circle of friends. She is an Eastern girl, from Pittsburg, Pa., and with her parents came from that city last fall, and has spent the winter here. Mr. ROOP is also from Pittsburg. In fact he was drawn to Pasadena for the reason that Miss GLADDEN was here, the pretty ceremony of July 24th being the culmination of a friendship that began in the Smoky City, where he was a popular young business man. The wedding will be somewhat of a surprise to their many friends who will wish Mr. and Mrs. ROOP a long life of happiness.-- Passadena [sic] News.
