From Brooklyn Eagle:

Glen Cove LI - Sept 30 - Yesterday afternoon at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. William H Coles, Forest avenue, their eldest daughter, Miss Sarah Amelia Coles, was married to George Carl Draegert of Buffalo. The house was decorated with autumn flowers, asters, golden rod and woodbine, with vases of cut flowers. The bridal party was attended by ushers, Walter Campbell and John Hewlett Coles, and they entered the parlor to the strains of Lohengrin's "Wedding March," pausing under an arch of golden rod, where Rev. F. Smock read the marriage services of the Congregational church. The bride wore a traveling gown and carried a bouquet of white roses and maiden hair fern. After the young couple received the congratulations of their friends, a collation was served in the diningroom, and then they took their departure for their future home in Buffalo.
