Beautiful, bright, clear & cool. Arose 8 A.M. Breakfast. Out with Father. Dinner. Odd jobs. Down street. Shower at Y. Home. Dressed. To White's Studio for pictures. To Church. Wedding at 8 P.M. Very pretty. Reception at house following. To bed 2:15 A.M.

So at last they are wed! The first of the siblings to marry is on her way to a great and prosperous life with her husband, Mark Sawyer. Below are the wedding photo that Stanford posed for and the write-up in the Schenectady newspaper. The colors of the bridesmaids' dresses, as reported in the newspaper announcement, make me think that the wedding was indeed "very pretty."

The people in this photo are the following:
Back row, left to right: Hanford Closson, Stanford Closson, Mark Sawyer, Edmund Groat, Jesse Cramer and C. Riford.
Middle row, left to right: Marion Benedict, Clara Lavery, Wendell Nelson Jr., Julia Ruth Closson. The other two are Eldyth Proper and Marion Lavery, although I don't know which is which. Mrs. Howard Maguire may be missing or she may be one of the two, but in that case, one of the other two is missing.
Front row is the flower girl, Lois Nelson.
