Ware - Schurman Wedding [July 12, 1919], MISS SCHURMAN BECOMES BRIDE IN SAGE CHAPEL
The Ithaca Journal, July 14 1919, P. 3, Col. 3.

"Daughter of Cornell's President Weds Raymond Ware in Presence of Several Hundred Guests - Reception Follows Ceremony at Schurman Home."
  'Miss Catherine Munro Schurman, daughter of President and Mrs. Jacob Gould Schurman, and Raymond Ware of Boston, secretary of the Thomas-Morse Aircraft Corporation, were married at 5:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon in Sage Chapel by Dr. Henry Van Dyke of Princeton, N. J.
  The bride was given away by her father.
  Miss Helen Schurman, a sister of the bride, was maid of honor. The four bridesmaids were: Miss Barbara Schurman, sister of the bride; the Misses Catherine and Beatrice Schurman of New York City, cousins of the bride, and Miss Rena Green of Morristown, N. J. Miss Dorothy Schurman, sister of the bride and Miss Helen Durham, were ribbon girls.
  Alvers White of New York City was best man, while the ushers were: Elliot Ware and Winslow Ware of Boston and Weld Ware of Morristown, N. J., brothers of the bridegroom, George M. Schurman and J. G. Schurman, jr., brothers of the bride, Attorney Sherman Peer and Jerome A. Fried of this city.
  --Bride Wears Lace Worn by Mother.--
  The bride was gowned in white satin garnitured with rose point lace which her mother also wore on her bridal gown. She wore a tulle veil fastened with orange blossoms, and carried white bride's roses with a shower of white ramblers.
  The maid of honor wore hydrangea blue tulle trimmed with pink, and a pink chiffon hat, and carried Cecil-Brenner roses.
  The bridesmaids wore gowns of pink organdie and pink hats and carried pink roses with blue delphinium and mist. Mrs. Schurman's gown was black lace, trimmed with blue and silver.
  --Professor Quarles Plays Program.--
  The wedding march was played by the university organist, Professor James T. Quarles. Preceding the ceremony Professor Quarles played the following numbers: "Nuptial March," Guilmant;
"Benediction Nuptiale," Dubois; "Bride's Song from the Country Wedding Symphony," Goldmark; "Elsa's Dream," from "Lohengrin," Wagner; "Serenade," Schubert; "Salut d'amour," Elgar; "Bridal Chorus," from "Lohengrin," Wagner.
  During the ceremony "I Love Thee" by Grieg, was played softly, and the recessional march was Mendelssohn wedding march from "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
  As the guests left the church the university chimes in the library tower took up the wedding march, which was followed by several other selections.
  --Reception at Schurman Home.--
  Following the ceremony a reception was held at the Schurman home.
The guests were received in the large dining room at the north end of the residence on East avenue, the room being decorated with pink rambler roses. In the receiving "line were President and Mrs. J. G. Schurman, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Ware, the bridegroom's father, William Minns Ware, and Miss Alice Ware, a sister of the bridegroom, the maid of honor, Miss Helen Schurman, and the four bridesmaids, Miss Barbara Schurman, the Misses Catherine and Beatrice Schurman of New York City, and Miss Rena Green of Morristown, N. J.
  --Airplanes Add Spectacular Touch.--
  A spectacular touch was added when, during the serving of a buffet supper under the trees on the lawn, the whirr of motors was heard overhead and a minute later two Thomas-Morse airplanes, flown by Paul Wilson and "Tex" Marshall with Mrs. Marshall as a passenger, appeared, sweeping low over the assemblage. They rose gracefully to a considerable height, in full sight of the guests only to swoop and circle, tumble, do barrel rolls, Immelman turns and the 'falling leaf' and other aerial thrillers. For full 10 minutes the two planes remained over the Schurman home, then as twilight began to close in they headed toward the west and dropped over the hill to the aviation field.
  Among the out-of-town guests were William Minns Ware of Boston, father of the bridegroom; Miss Alice Ware, sister of the bridegroom; Mr. and Mrs. Elliot Ware of Boston, Mr. and Mrs. George Schurman of New York City, uncle and aunt of the bride and the Misses Catherine and Beatrice Schurman, Mr. and Mrs. John Munro of New York City, uncle and aunt of the bride; Mrs. George Canterbury of Jamalca Plains, Mass., Miss Elizabeth Ware of Chicago, Miss Mary Cushman and Holbrook Cushman of New York City, Mrs. Walter Kerr and Miss Eleanor Kerr of Staten Island, Mrs. John Barr and Mrs. Jeremiah W. Jenks of New York City, Raymond Lowes of New York, Major Taussig of Yonkers, recently of the 309th Infantry, 78th Division, Henry Holloway of Mountclair, N. J., and Mr. and Mrs. George Forrest of Easton, Pa., cousins of the bride.'
